I have no idea how this show is currently scoring 8.6 and I'm pretty sure that in time, this will drastically come down.

I'm a huge fan of fantasy / mystery / dark adventure / period piece type productions, so I was looking forward to this.

Decent eye candy & fight scenes but nothing more. It is extremely poorly directed. Looks like an amateur shot it.

The screen writing falls short as well. The viewer has to sit through drawn out segments of dialogue used to fill in the story line, without anything happening. The characters just stand or sit there and the camera pans back and forth between them. It looks lazy. You can convey a plot line in different ways other than plain dialogue.

The acting is between acceptable and sub-par. It needs a LOT of improvement.

It didn't hold my attention. I'm past the age where I would just fast forward to the fight scenes. LOL
