I like Henry Cavill and his costuming is great BUT this show is very flawed. It plays like a low-budget show on regular TV.

For those who have not read the books you have no ideal when/where these events are taking place. And they continuously just move forwards and backwards in time on the show and expect viewers to what? Guess at when/where these events are taking place?

And are we supposed to guess about the characteristics of the creatures and human-ish beings in the show. For example do Mages-Magicians-Witches age?

This show plays and feels like they were on the path to something great but they just didn't finish it.
