Riftworld Chronicles (2015– ) User Reviews

A great show that needs to be picked up!

[edmeardon · 9/10 · 21 December 2022]

I just watched all eight "episode" (about 6 minutes each) of "season 1" and it was VERY good! As others have said, it IS a good mix of fantasy and comedy. Please continue this series! (Although by this time, it has been 7 years since it was made!)

The "wizard" was very believable, and the girl who he finds, has a brother who is a gamer, and knows "things" about the "wizards" world. Why? (The series ended before this could begin to be addressed.)

Also, WHY did the girl's mother have a necklace with an emblem found on the back of one of the coins the "wizard" was carrying? We need these questions answered!

Also, the series ended before the earth people could meet the assassin and begin to question their doubt of the "wizard" (who they thought was crazy).

So many unanswered questions!

Unfortunate

The content that is available to view, made it seem like this could have been a great show. It's unfortunate that it was cut so very short. I feel that someone should take up this show and make a run of it.

A mixture of humour and fantasy, this was a refreshing series. It was engaging and addictive. Quite sadly, there were not enough funders for this project and it left me wanting more. A great loss.

This Unfinished Gem was born too early

My husband and I recently watched this show, just to kill time .... and we were hooked. I am sad they didn't complete the series. I hope someone picks it up now that streaming is popular and 5 - 10 minutr mini-series is more often seen. This show was well-writren and witty. Each episode made you eager for the next and is better than the regular boring, endlessly dragged out series that are popular today.

Very enticing and promising and fun!

I am not even an enthusiast of this kind of stuff, gaming etc, but I know just enough to enjoy the references and more importantly the characters are great, and the story is intriguing and good fun.

But (as fan of Buffy and Charmed) i was left wanting more, much more.

It's enticing, funny but with serious gems (pun intended) included.

If wizard powers worked in this world I would totally cast a spell on Netflix so I could watch this show.

Seriously, it has a style and relevance all its own, while sharing the humour of shows like Buffy. Someone needs to pick this up and take it on, help it reach its genius, which is clearly there waiting.

Has potential, but...

This web series has (had?) potential, but only 8 episodes appear to have been made. Each episode is about 6 minutes long, so if you lump them all together and discount the recaps and credits, it's about 30 minutes of actual content.

So basically consider that the series is a pilot for a show that never got off the ground. This is unfortunate because there is a nice mix of comedy and fantasy in what there is. Erin Karpluk has a good history with dramedy having logged four seasons as "Erica" in "Being Erica."
