This show had some potential, but the pacing is horrendous!! slow and very meek, almost as if it was afraid of going "too" far, a strange decision considering that "Game of Thrones" is ten times bloodier (and better). Also, there is the weird timeline, starts with a battle with no context, then switches to some boring events afterwards, then in episode 5 we learn why the first battle is important (by then everybody is bored with the show), and then, the few of those still watching this show learn that there is a more important battle in the last episode but this last battle lacks suspense, action and blood..

Henry Cavill is an excelent actor and the only reason this show is not a complete waste of time
