It's not a good sign when you've started the show twice and not even realized it.

I like Cavill. I like the sets and the costumes. I like the cinematography / lighting, most of the time.

I don't like some of the jokes/dialogue. Seemed a bit infantile. I don't like some of the character makeup. Specifically, some of the monsters seem silly.

I don't like the time jumping. At least not so early before we can get involved with a character or storyline or a mystery to keep us interested.

This show reminds me of the original pilot to GOT. It was redone (A talented writer director friend told them to redo it) because it was muddled like this and didn't have a clear idea on what to get emotionally involved with. This is more concerned with spectacle than developing an engaging story.

And Too much magic, for my tastes. I love GOT and Firefly but not Xena and Buffy.

This is more for the fans of the latter.
