The previous four episodes of the show to me ranged from decent to pretty good. Episode 2 wasn't without it's problems although it had some improvements while the first, third, and fourth episodes, despite the standard clichés, had an interesting world building and the acting, while not oscar-worthy, is by far decent enough with only Manu Bennett and John Rhys Davies giving solid performances as two interesting characters. Reaper is another pretty good episode that has only the standard clichés in the script and a love triangle that seemed out of place.
However, it still has the same good aspects including the atmospheric music score, the CGI/visuals, and like I said, the decent acting. But not only that. The story so far has been getting a bit interesting despite the forced love triangle and Will and Amberle, aside from Allanon and Eventine, are getting quite better as they plan to help the Elven clan fight against the demons who have returned from the ancient tree called the Ellcrys. The directing is also really good and the production design continues to be very impressive with some nice costumes the well designed elven kingdom.
So, overall, not a perfect episode, but still good nonetheless.
