Please do not watch the series thinking it is something similar to Game of Thrones. It is not. Yes, it is of the genre but largely different so far. The storyline is strong, seamlessly continuous; visuals are breathtaking. The politics is yet to develop so don't give up on it yet.
Ben Barnes plays his character like a pro and is delightful to watch, he played it so well that it almost felt like he is the linchpin of the show.
Kit Young is flawless in portraying Jesper you wont find one dull moment and deserves ovations.
Freddy Carter playing Kaz effortlessly, however, on a personal level i think Kaz is a complex character and the maturity that the character demands a more aged actor. Don't get me wrong Freddy plays it to the core, but certain scheming can only come with experience and age.
Jessie & Archie are portrays young & reckless love. Is more of Bollywood taste.
