Wish List 2: Spellbinder
I thought I would review another series that is not yet on DVD, at least not in the US: Spellbinder. I am sure that not many of you have heard of this series. I believe I saw it on the Disney Channel in the 90s. I watched quite a bit of childrens programming back then, including Ocean Girl, Space Cases, and the Secret World of Alex Mack. But my favorite was Spellbinder.
Spellbinder was a tale of alternate worlds. It starts in our world, where teenager Paul Reynolds is playing a prank and accidently stumbles through a gateway to a parallel world. This world has an agricultural society that is ruled by ‘Spellbinders’. Spellbinders are people who use powersuits to manipulate electricity. Paul is befriended by Riana in the Spellbinder world and together with his friends in our world, they work on a way to get Paul back.
I really enjoyed this series, but unfortunately, I did not tape it when it was on. This series was only shown once in the US to my knowledge, so I have never had the opportunity to see it all the way through, since I missed several episodes while it was being shown. There was a second series, Spellbinder 2: Land of the Dragon Lord, but it was not as well written and it had little to do with the first series so I soon lost interest in it.
