Haven't read the books, but was disappointed since the show seemed promising.

The bad:

The acting. Some key actors, including Henry Cavill, is doing a decent job with what they've been given, but apart from that nothing else stands out in a positive way.


Dialogue. Often corny and pretentious.








The good:







Overall, I'd give this TV show a 6/10. I found it rather boring, and it's difficult to get involved in the plot and characters.
