The acting was great. A fun story, but there are a few tiresome, political, diatribes that kind of ruin parts of it.

I'm not sure when the books were written, but they are probably better. Hollywood likes to reverse history and facts quite a bit, and I get the sense that that may have happened in this series.

If you can tolerate the tiresome, lesbian, gay, and interracial sex themes that Hollywood loves to bore people with, you'll probably like it.
