Let me start by saying that I was really looking forward to this show. The trailers looked really good and I love Oscar Isaac. The show overall was not bad. First episode was really good but then it got a bit boring until episode 5 (which was by far my favorite episode). The ending was good but not great, felt a bit rushed. One thing I'll say is that the portrayal of Egypt was done very nicely (no yellow filter on the camera) and that was much appreciated.

I hope that future seasons (if any) build on the positives from season 1 and take a bit more risks with the story and the characters.
