I just finished the first episode. One thing is for sure: I was not impressed. Like... at all!!!
The cast is great.
The music is great (not goes with the historical settings, but hell, who cares - well, who cares if everything else is good... but it is not...)
The pictures are beautiful.
The start of the actual story is o.k...(I am not speaking of historical accuracy, I dont know the history behind the drama...) I have seen worse... But hell, everything that happened could have been put into 15 whole minutes, and it wouldn't have been fast paced!
I was actually suffering... I was checking how much time left in every two minutes...
All that staring into the camera. All that slow motion walking... The man on screen stood up... Oh, he is going somwhere! Yeah. He is staring, 10 second long full-face shot. He is starting to walk!!! Thank God! He is walking in slow motion. In front of beautiful scenery. Two minutes passed, he is still walking. He stops. Staring into camerea, 10 second full-face shot... Repeat... He arrives. He was going to meet someone. 10 second full-face shot of the other person, 10 seconds of his. Three sentences of conversation, with staring between them...
Torture...
I am not too anxious to watch the next episode to tell the truth... This was just all kinds of bad. Such a waste of of great actors, music, cinematography...
