I am a hopeless romantic, sci-fi/fantasy loving gal, so this show seemed right up my alley. It took me a couple of episodes to put my finger on what was holding me back from thoroughly enjoying this; the cast is great, the locations, cinematography, etc.

It's the writing. The dialogue is really painful and ineffectual, so basic and full of expository that is not fully believable as what these characters would actually say. The weak writing places constraints on how fully this talented cast can carry out their roles.

I'm going to keep my optimistic outlook that the writing will eventually improve, yet I doubt that it will happen. Still enjoying it but my audible sighs and eye rolls seem destined to continue.
