"Legend of the Seeker".
The show is bland fantasy tropes stitched across the best ideas from the book.
Spoiler: Talk of fictional rape is why the book series is worse than the show.
And the book series quickly goes from great to...well... Someone is raping someone or being raped by someone, a significant portion of the time.
So the bland TV show is a way to enjoy the ideas from the books, but largely rape-free. (It's still strongly implied in characters backstories, but at least not acted out directly, on screen, if I recall correctly.)
