muzwiz-1 I have rated this 10 out of 10 as it is a spellbinding to coin a phrase. I think the idea of parallel worlds is fascinating and the spellbinder world is truly remarkable, the scenery, special effects and lovable characters is what keeps you watching. The character Ashka is portrayed excellently by Heather Mitchell, Paul Reynolds is played by a superb actor in Zbych Trofimiuk- courage and determination is acted very well. All the characters in the series are played well, its a shame Zbych has not done more acting since, but for what he has done he has done very well. I think the most engrossing part was when Ashka arrived in Paul's world, with her power suit she really is unstoppable. The spellbinders are very interesting characters and children of today will still be wowed by the special effects. 26 episodes is a fine collection of episodes. Shame no UK release, but if you want something with a bit of imagination, good special effects, characters with depth then this is definitely for you!
Anders I just got it on DVD direct from Australia, and I must say it was a wonderful sight / experience to watch the first season / 1st series again. I was stuck to the screen while I re-watched all 26 episodes in less than a week! Now... waiting for the next part. Spellbinder 2: Land of the Dragon Lord to come out on DVD. Some years ago the series went on Danish TV and that was something could get my attention. Funny thing is that now when I see when the series was made... the actors/actresses are about my age. This mix of current date (at the time) happenings and a parallel dimension where people live much more primitive is fascinating especially is this context. I can only recommend everyone to watch this series at the first chance you get!It is definitely top entertainment. The people who thought up the plots/ideas were genius! If I were to compare this series to another series it would definitely be another Australien series "The Girl from Tomorrow".
nozcr Spellbinder was a multi part serial centering on an Australian Boy who falls through a dimensional tear and finds himself in a parallel universe that resembles an eastern European country (because it was filmed in an eastern European country). The boy finds his way back to Australia, but is followed by some eastern European villains. Eventually the boy's scientist father sorts it all out and returns everyone from the alternate universe back to where they belong.It lasted approximately 26 episodes and ran on the Disney Channel in the summer of 1996. As far as I know, it marked one of the first co-productions between eastern Europe and the western world and cleared the way for such notable eastern European films as Cold Mountain, Hellboy, and the latest in the Chucky the Killer Doll series.
ragstorichesfan I love this series - it is the first time in a while that there has been a cliffhanger series on tv- it got you to the point where you had to see it the following week - sometimes the week was unbearable to get through to find out what happened! im so glad i recorded them - as the disney channel only reaired them once. The Fox Family channel aired a sequel series - which was good but not as good. Ashka was totally evil! she was an awesome villian - i highly recommend this australian sci fi series!!!
