I thought it was shocking mate, had to give it up after a few episodes. It simply isn't able to decide what type of show it wants to be. Does it want to be a historical drama? Well the it fails on every level when they have charecters calling their parents "mum and dad", the completely lack of historical research is appalling. The show lack both the intensity even moderate accuracy of say Vikings.
Does it want to be the new Game of Thrones? Then it fails miserably. They don't have the charecters to sustain interest that much with some of the acting so wooden you'd of thought half of the cast had just left drama school. Others are so over the top they are almost cartoon like. Is the plot interesting enough? Not really, it had potential but they squandered it and we are left with this mess of a show.
Does it even want to be a historical comedy? I'd of thought not and yet they tried some extremely poorly judged and badly timed "funny moments" that were horrible to watch.
And the gore and the violence was poorly judged. Shows like GOT and Vikings use it at the right times mostly (both of them have misjudged on occasion) but this was just violence and gore for its own sake with the show runners simply saying "look at how violent and edgy our show Is!".
I'd tell people to avoid this mess of a show and find somthing else. I normally try and persevere with tv shows that I should like such as this but it's so bad that I can't.
