This show is at his best mediocre, and then I'm really being a nice guy. The problem I have with this show is that it just doesn't stand out in any area. The story is what you can call at some times really confusing, time leaps that weren't explained. The special effects were not up to standars, compared to other big budget shows in the fantasy genre. I tried really hard not to laugh when I saw how they made the dragon look in this show. If it wasn't this sad, I would have laughed. Casting was in some cases very questionable. But what I am mostly concerned and shocked by is how many people rate this show so high. Are you blind? Don't you see what I see? I simply cannot understand how you could even think this show is worth a 9 or a 10. Is it so that everything that is fantasy just gets hyped these days, without even looking at the quality? I'm afraid so... And that means that my beloved genre of fantasy, doesn't have a bright future.
