Synopsis

Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire is a British-American comedic sword and sorcery series created by Peter A. Knight, co-produced by Hat Trick Productions and Media Rights Capital for Comedy Central and BBC Two, which premiered on April 9, 2009 in the USA and on June 11 in the UK. It began airing on July 8 in Canada, on Citytv. In August 2009, it was reported that the series was canceled after Comedy Central pulled out of the production, but the BBC has retracted this claim, stating that a second series could be produced if they were able to gain a new funding partner. According to Jimmy Mulville of Hat Trick Productions, "There is a bit of misinformation going on. As far as the writers and the controller of BBC comedy and the controller of BBC2 and Matt Lucas are concerned, we are developing a second series."

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
zh84 Much as I detest Mrs Thatcher (Prime Minister of Britain 1979-90, for the young and the foreign), her maxim applies here. It was obvious throughout this series, of which I saw all but the first and last episodes, that money had been poured into it. There was lots of location work, the sets were big and elaborate, the costumes were beautiful, there was a large cast, people had been trained to fight, there were lots of special effects, and so on. The trouble was, though, that the ideas weren't there beneath it all. The characters were dull (a magician who can't actually use magic is a completely pointless idea) and the story didn't make much sense to me. It was fun to watch Matt Lucas having the time of his life overacting the villain, but I lost patience with the story as a whole and that is why I never watched part 6. As others have said, India de Beaufort is gloriously beautiful, but that isn't enough to keep my interest.
andriante I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the show. It's just genuinely good! The acting is superb. The writing is fluent, very funny and the story line is good as well although heavily focused on being funny rather then focusing on the plot.The show looks pretty expensive, the set looks very authentic and rich.I think that if the show where to be improved to perfection then it should be made 40 minutes long and put a bit more focus onto the storyline. Other than that it's perfect. A must see for anyone who likes shows like Futurama, South Park, 30 rock etc.
AtrienSolstice36 This is a funny spin off of mythical and legendary characters. Yes the dialog can be brash at times but none-the-less you must remember it is on Comedy Central a channel with a plethora of smart mouthed comedians and programming. However, I think the dialog is true to character. And I like the gender switch between the hero and heroine it is a clever and funny way of letting guys know they can be mushy in their journals and women can be strong willed (without being called certain names). I enjoy the show very much. It's a nice break from reality and a good show to veg. out with. I do wish the program lasted an hour to make more time for character and plot development and I'd like to see more of Cy the biclops and look forward to a DVD release.
benji-71 The commercials didn't make me laugh but they did catch my interest. I had Tivo grab the first episode. I wasn't expecting much, but I soon found myself laughing out loud - a LOT. Krod Mandoon has quickly become one of my favorite shows. It's a campy medieval comedy packed with great characters. From what I've seen in reviews, people either love it or hate it. I think some people don't get that it's meant to be campy. It's not going to have a tight plot with brilliant acting - it's supposed to be a low-budget romp. Some of the moments of humor are totally unique, too - things I've never seen before, and they surprise me so much I have to hit pause so I can ROFL. Dongalor, the bad guy, is particularly funny. And somehow they managed to give everybody the worst hair I've ever seen. It's stunning. Anyways, I love this show.
