What a mess. This felt pretty much like amateur hour with a too big budget. It's not just about the clumsy writing with the confusing time jumps (just to mention one problem) and the complete lack of build-up or attempt to establish or explain anything in the universe, the unnatural deep voice of Cavil, the highly artificial look of the coloured contact lenses, the constant overacting, etc. For a fantasy story to work the viewer needs to believe in it and I didn't believe in any of what I was seeing. The only reason I finished the season is because I love fantasy so much in general. I hope the books are a lot better than this, I really do, as I haven't read them (yet) or played the games (although W3 has been in my backlog for eternity). I'm sorry if this offends fans of the show but it's my honest opinion.
