Mr. Death:

Yes, and much better than the books (the later ones, at least), if you ask me. Goodkind got way too much into Ayn Rand and let that take over his narrative.
The series keeps the adventure bits and excises the politics and benefits immensely from it (and from Craig Horner's abs. I'm straight, but goddamn).
wardenferry419:
Yeah, after half a dozen books it was more preaching and less fighting.

That's an unfair assumption considering, while Richard acknowledges the creator, his logical approach to life leaves little reasoning at worship. The whole thing was supposed to 'preach'/teach. Like the adventures of Bonnie day in the story, this story was a primer to how to approach life logically and act with the right intentions and forthought. It's 90% of the reason I name myself Wizard, Nobody else got the damned easy to wrangle unwritten rules, Embrace Life, No matter your views or perspective.
I prefer to see a philosophical subtext, rather than a theological one.
wardenferry419:
Can we agree to disagree due to personal feelings about how Goodkind chose to voice his belief without it being a point of tension?
Mr. Death:
"Preach" in this context does not exclusively refer to religion.
