Every Saturday morning I couldn't wait to wake up and watch Spellbinders 2. Spellbinders 2 screened on TV before the original and because it was the first one to show I thought it was more original than the first one and I enjoyed it more even though at times that spend too much time in one world/realm or another. I thought the story was original and kept me eagerly waiting for more. All I remember the story being about is a young Australian girl and her older brother who somehow travel to different worlds/realms and have adventures. Spellbinders are people who while wearing some suit have powers. Each episode was another amazing adventure some worlds they went to were Ancient China, An opposite world where everything was opposite eg:In the 'real world' there neighbour was a plumber and in the other he was a celebrity and a place where there were these spooky robots with no faces that looked like humans which use to scare me. If you are looking for a great children's show then watch this it is rare but they came out with the first one on DVD so them should be coming out with this one soon hopefully.

Ok the original is better but this second series is a good watch though. I love that ashka is back, but she acts like she's never been to 'our word' even though she's been there in the first series.

After so many years it is still highly watchable, adequately exciting. Almost all of the cast members show great talent, with Ashka being the most dazzling as expected. I don't know what it is about her, but when she screams out orders, you just want to obey after saying yes m'am, LOL.

I like the multiple universes being introduced this time, compared to the first season where only two parallel worlds were crossed. The one with the mechanicals is especially interesting. Be that as it may, I am a bit underwhelmed by the "Chinese" world they have created. Perhaps if they had chosen to use mandarin with subtitles, or translator, it would have felt more convincing.

Also, Ryan Kwanten is such an eye candy with that baby face. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks the entire time because he is that adorable.

I'm glad they chose to retain the soundtrack. It is rather iconic, evoking a sense of nostalgia, adventure, and tension.

This is one of my favorite children's series of all time. The locations, sets, special effects are excellent. This second series of Spellbinders is even better than the first. A teenage girl from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia and her family trip between parallel worlds having incredible adventures.

The worlds include that of the Dragon Lord, The Mechanicals and a parallel Sydney Australia.

Excellent locations in Sydney, China and Poland. Great cast of Australian and international actors. Sydney looks beautiful with such locations as Manly and what appears to be Narrabeen.

I enjoyed watching this series with my children and eventually watched the first series when it was repeated. I would like to get the second series on DVD when it is available.

If you like Spellbinders you will also like the Australian/New Zealand series of "Mirror Mirror"

I had seen this series when I was about 10 years old. I could not remember all the plots, but this is one of my favorite show. The boat-like device which was used to travel between dimension was just awesome. Did not seen the original one before this, so it looked more better. It may not deserve all 10 stars (deserve 8 stars), but as it was my favorite show in childhood, I gave it perfect score. Graphics and sounds may be questionable for today's viewers, but that time it was enough.

The story and the cast are great .one of my favorite show when I was a kid .

I fondly remember watching 1997's "Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord" when I was in year seven, but didn't remember much aside from the vague storyline. Rewatching it nearly twenty years later was like watching it all over again. A great cast, lots of interesting storylines, some creepy parallel worlds and the return of the evil Spellbinder Ashka, in a joint Australian-Polish-Chinese production, the likes of which they don't make anymore. Yes, I know that makes me sound old.

Lauren Hewett and 'True Blood' alum Ryan Kwanten lead a strong cast. Heather Mitchell is great as Ashka. Cool to see Australian vet Peter O'Brien playing Crazy Carl.

They matched and bettered "Spellbinder" for mine, with plenty of nods to the original series. Just wish we had gotten a cameo from Paul, Riana or Correon.

I'm totally disappointed in this series. I was hoping to see at least half of the original cast, especially Paul, but nope... doesn't happen in this season 2! Season 2 now also focuses to a younger generation than it previously focused on. So, if you was older enjoying season 1 and move on to season 2, you'd feel like you was watching the news and then decided to watch Sesame Street. It seems the only thing important about Spellbinder series is traveling between dimensions while not keeping the original cast between seasons. I can't believe the director of this TV series would have let all the build up of the characters for season 1 for the next season go down the hole! The worked so hard to create Season 1 and build the characters up that when season 2 comes along, they make the Villains of Season 1 become the new main characters in Season 2!!! WTF???? I can completely understand why there is no season 3. Season 2 completely ruined it!! You'll notice this right as soon as you see the first episode! You'll definitely be sure that the main characters from season 1 does not come back to season 2 after watching up to episode 4! After watching episode 4, I finally decided not to continue watching as I have made up my mind that I will probably never see the cast from season 1 in season 2 based on what they said in episode 4.

Please don't waste you time or energy watching this series. I found the acting to horrendous and the storyline very boring.

I absolutely loved season 1, but season 2 was far too long.

The first 10-12 episodes were good, albiet a little slow, but it starts to get a little convoluted and hard to follow. It would have worked much tighter as a 13 episode season rather than pad out 26 episodes with nonsensical stories and immature side plots. Meanwhile, other aspects that should be explained in more detail are simply overlooked.

It had such a promising cast including Heather Mitchell, Peter O'Brien, well-known child actor Lauren Hewitt and future superstar Ryan Kwanten, but this series is by no means the best work of any of them.

According to Buddhism, There are 16 No of parallel worlds for human, 09 for heaven, 06 for Hell. When I see this story, I always remember it.
