mosenk779 Excellent shows. Great acting and plot lines. Dar has a great attitude to help animals, talk to them, and fight for justice. Daniel Goddard is a perfect actor for the show. Very strong personality and perfectly built for the role, especially to wear a loincloth. All the characters played a great role. Tao who was calm but faced adventure with Dar. As I watched the shows, they gave the impression that you don't need material things for integrity, it's how you react to your environment. It was great seeing Marc Singer in an episode who also was a great actor in the original Beastmaster. Keep up the good work Daniel, you made a great role. No killing, stealing, swearing, or indecent sex scenes.

lisaweaver Speaking strictly of the first 2 seasons this shows some of the best talent I've ever seen both in writing and acting. Almost every episode was remarkably well crafted. The main characters were very well formed and expertly well portrayed. Especially Dar and Tao. This show teaches us more about the world and shows us how truly human-like animals really are. This summary doesn't speak for the 3rd season because to me the third season simply wasn't that good. The show had lost it's focus both on the animals and the people. At that point it became pure good vs. evil and lost it's appeal. But I still love the show and stand by what i said:this show truly is the best and only one of it's kind!

grrregpower BeastMaster is not about intelligent writing or good acting necessarily, its about the tight bodied , half naked blond hottie who runs around in it. That is why I watch it. It is good eye candy to aspire to before I go to the gym. And I also watch carefully for homoerotic subtext which despite what any blind eyed teenage girl might tell you, is definitely there. You don't have to dive for it. I could certainly watch this show on mute and miss nothing.

MichaelM24 THE BEASTMASTER (the original 1982 film) was and still remains a childhood favorite of mine. When I heard of a series, I was naturally excited. Then I saw the premiere, and had to laugh. Though supposedly produced by one of the guys involved with the film, the show itself isn't much like the film at all, with the only similarity being a guy named Dar who can communicate with animals. Even the backstory of Dar was changed. Also, thanks to the type of fantasy shows produced in the wake of the HERCULES and XENIA series, THE BEASTMASTER became just another typical, corny, lame, lackluster series that could never be found because of its ever-changing schedule, which is just as well. Dar, a muscular tough guy in the films, becomes a slim beach-blonde surfer dude from Malibu (no disrespect to the actor, since it was the producers who made the character like this) who encounters everything from jungle woman to creatures who looks like (and, knowing this type of show, probably are) from space or another dimension. The dark, brooding aspect of the film is instead replaced with a "hip" sensibility meant to attract a young audience, which has probably never even heard of the film. I can't believe the show is still on, though I really couldn't care any less. It's a terrible show, but at least it can never take away my fondness for the original (and much superior) film.
