Don't just go off what the critics say. This wasn't perfect but it was good and I enjoyed it. You can tell that Henry Cavill really wanted this role and overall the acting all around was good. The monsters were sometimes good but sometimes not, it was a mixed bag but it's the first season. The story can be hard to follow if you have absolutely no knowledge of the world or don't pay close attention. The fights are good and well choreographed as well as the battles. I understand that this will have nudity, sex, and gore but at times it seemed a little over the top and gratuitous if that stuff bothers you. Overall, I enjoyed this and look forward to the second season that's already greenlit.
