The production values are extremely high, but your tolerance for swordy nonsense will need to be similarly vertiginous for this to develop into a must-see. [25 Jul/1 Aug 2014, p.108]

Despite a shaky start, The Quest actually becomes something interesting--or at least different--within the reality landscape.

Although I am not big into fantasy, I can totally appreciate what this experience was like for the contestants and the blend of reality tv game show and scripted story worked just fine for me. I really appreciated how committed the actors were to their roles. What most impressed me, though, was how the contestants became fully immersed in the settings and the story-line to the point you could almost tell when this "fantasy" did become Reality for them. Although I actually laughed at times for how far that went, I found it very entertaining! I can see this show evolving considerably as all the foundations are there on which to build! Bravo!

This show is amazing and proof that there can be honor and loyalty in reality television. Although it may at first seem rough, this show is absolutely worth watching. The paladins are bright and strong, the actors are always on point and the ending is....well, lets just say its EPIC. Another season would make it even better. Join #thequestarmy!

The Quest doesn’t entirely dodge the obvious potential for cheese, but the surprisingly impressive production values help keep things on the right side of ridiculous.

The editing is kind to most of the contestants, who come off as earnest, intelligent folks looking to engage their inner heroes.... Alas, The Quest’s elimination challenge is unimaginative and the vote deliberations almost as petty as anything on “Big Brother.”

Filmed in Austria, The Quest boasts high production values but its stated goal to populate a fictional, serialized fantasy world with reality show contestants doesn't find quite the right mix in early episodes.

It is unique in all of TV programming. It teaches loyalty and rewards honor. It is fun and utilizes skills across all disciplines. There is no other outlet for this sort of entertainment. Even the cast is superb. This is the first realty TV show where I actually care about the fate of the cast and want to learn more about them and their stories. With a bit of advertising, perhaps cross-channel, this show could be a sensation that gets 5 or more seasons without ever growing old. I know the viewership is low but all of the ratings I have ever read praise the show and its creativity.

This show is only for those who like the idea of living out a fantasy adventure. As one of those people I think it is amazing. They throw the contestants into a fantasy world with such good sets and amazing actors that it almost seems real to them. Being on the show as an actor or contestant would be a dream come true and it is very entertaining to watch.

I'm sure the show tries to capture the imagination of a younger generation and the overall production and casting is great BUT the challenges are not interesting and some of the contestants are just a bit strange. Show doesn't deserve such a low rating but it is geared to a very specific audience for sure. I just want to see how it ends.

This is absolutely hideous and terrible. I guess I really shouldn't have even tried to like this series because almost all reality TV shows are completely worthless.

Sweet Jesus this is awful. It really would make you question if they have the right hiring practices at ABC currently. How about you stop making this kind of trash, put the money you saved in an envelope and send it to HBO and we get an extra episode of game of thrones.
