I would have never guessed that there are so many masochists in this world. This seriously is absolutely a waste of time and should be avoided at all cost. I watched 3 episodes to see whether it will get any better, but it started really bad and to my shock it actually managed to get even worse. It is basically an incoherent mess.

There are many issues with this abomination of a TV series. You have poor CGI at the level of low-budget 90s shows (such as Xena or Hercules), you have terrible actors that can hardly act, you have terrible casting of characters, and really poor writing.

These are all major issues and could break any series. But they are over-shadowed by the plot, which is totally incoherent, confusing, and illogical. Although I have read the books, I had hard time understanding what is going on. The plot jumps between different characters without properly introducing them. It covers different timelines without explaining which events took place in the past and which are taking place now. The main characters have no purpose, they seem to perform their actions for reasons only known to the script-writers. If you have never read the books or played computer games then there is no way you can follow the plot. Even having read the source material I had hard time following the plot. How this can have an average score of above 5 on IMBD is beyond me. The only explanation is that Netflix (just like Disney) is buying the reviews.

What is worst is that the books themselves are so easy to read, they have such a nice structure that just begs to be adapted for movies or TV series. Yet somehow the script-writers decided that they need to change them. All those changes were unnecessary and for the worse. Basically, if there is something that does not make sense (which almost everything) you can be sure it is because the script-writers decided to inject their own "vision."

Verdict: Avoid at all costs especially if you have never been exposed to the source material.
