When you're required to know the book a show is based on to understand what is going on. I do not know the books and I'll unlikely read them. More unlikely now after I watched this show. It's just not my cup of tea.

I managed to get through the first series and the first half of the second, barely, but then got more and more confused. By the end I was almost lost.

I hadn't to wait a week (or more) in between episodes. If so I would've quit very quick.

If it hasn't been for the good acting and the great cinematography I would've stopped watching anyway.

But acting and cinematography alone aren't enough. There's such a thing like a story.

In my opinion the makers of this show have failed to tell it.
