The timeline stuff is weird at first but you catch on. I don't think it hurts the show. I don't think it's as crippling to the show as some make it out to be. That aside it's an enjoyable show with a good cast. There's a surprising lack of political messages, in fact it's pretty callous at times. There's a good mix of elements to balance the show without it feeling awkward or poorly timed. The comedy and "romance" dont subtract from the experience. The characters are usually reasonable.

I have beef with one episode that seems to have been injected into the series but I'll let it slide. I assume it's there for some fan service. In a world where Disney has entire trilogies of fan service, I'll let one in ten episodes slide.

One of the better fantasy shows you can watch right now. Definitely worth a try. The first episode is a good example of the rest of the show.
