This show has some great visuals and a plot that has potential but it's overshadowed with some questionable casting choices, strange and unrelated dialog and accents that make it tough to truly get into the story and world they are portraying. Where the first season takes off well it eventually leads to main characters splitting up or having conflicts that take away from character and story development rather than add to it. Romantic connections feel generic or pushed.. My main gripe is with the dialog written into this show, it feels over the top and I never embraced city names, groups or other phrases or names they made up that didn't resonate. Character accents take a simple scenes and dialog into scratching the head moment, like I understand but did they have to say it like that or that fast or with that thick an accent? Later on in the story they seem to introduce characters and push to hard for them to be relevant. Then the story starts jumping around and going back and forth to different groups and time lines attempting to do what LOTR did so well but unsuccessfully. This show has beautiful landscapes, visuals some actors are well received but after looking into the director and finding out 5 different directors played a part in this show it shows. I am personal having a hard time watching the end of this season with my family. Too many actors, strange dialog and a plot that goes in too many directions at a time, a generous 3 out of 5 because the budget feels healthy and visuals.
