If you read the books this is a dumpster fire. It had potential to be pretty good but they rushed through it so fast I can't believe the whole first book was crammed into one 8 episode season! I have no idea what the plans are for the remaining 2 books/season are going to be but it can't get much worse. The casting was mediocre; Matthew was spot on, Diana was great but Teresa Palmer lacks for me, Ysabeau was much too old looking and Marcus was wrong in every way! He was blonde, with blue eyes and AMERICAN!!! I was really disappointed in the series since I LOVED the books but don't waste your time or money on the series
