It seems strange that the main protagonist of the show only appears in 30%-60% of an episode. There are however plenty of female heroins taking up the majority of screen time. 4 episodes in and you will already meet a handful of queens and princesses that not only fight in battles (on the front lines), but are the hero's of them because they are the most feared warriors within their armies....

Putting that aside, this is a fun B-level show with relatively good action and effects. The acting however is a little uneven and wooden at times but mainly decent to good. Henry Cavill looks and plays the part well but he is clearly being held back by the direction of the show. Which leads to the biggest weakness, the writing. Most things are poorly set up as are the characters themselves. The banter is at best dull when it's not being nonsensical. This lack of development leaves the viewer not really caring for anyone within a convoluted mess of story arcs. If you are not familiar with the source material you will be left clueless as to who the players are, their motives and the world they are living in. It's as if we are joining the series half way through it.

I still enjoy it for what it is though, it's a guilty pleasure in the same vain as Kevin Sorbo's Hercules and Tia Carrere's Relic Hunter. Empty calories not to be taken seriously.
