Henry Cavill, accompanied by the rest of the cast, truly brings his A-game to this show, earning a well-deserved 10-star rating for their performances. However, the script is another story, barely scraping by with a single star. As someone who's delved into the depths of the original books, the alterations made to the storyline are a letdown.

The books presented captivating and artistic scenes which have been oversimplified in the show, rendering them mundane and lacking in creativity. It's the cast's passion for the story, especially Cavill's, that manages to cover up some of these glaring script issues.

The uncertainty looming over the post-third season era, with Cavill's exit, raises concerns. The potential viewer fallout, myself included, could be substantial. Perhaps a reconsideration of the current writing team could put the show back on the path to achieving its full potential. However, I am skeptical about the show ever reverting to its original, intended narrative. It has ventured too far astray and allowed subpar writing to guide it for too long.
