Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire"
Thumb up or thumb down?
I'm going to be really courageous and go with a...thumb sideways.
There's definitely some funny stuff here, but not nearly enough; also, some first-rate comic actors, too, like Matt Lucas ("Little Britain USA") and Sean Maguire - he's Krod - is good here too. It's a nearly-all-Brit cast, and as you know, the Brits do genre satire better 'n anyone else in the solar system...the holy grail being "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

As mentioned, Matt Lucas as the evil Chancellor Dongalor is the stand-out; also good, Philly comic Kevin Hart as hapless magician Zezelryck.
But the series (Comedy Central, 10) needs to be funnier, much funnier. Maybe in time...
