I love sci-fi fantasy and will generally watch a โbadโ offering to the end with the hope it improves. This did not! They had legendary characters like Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Gwain, etc and couldnโt write a decent character arc for each to get the audience invested in the plot. Just seemed like whoever wrote it wanted the focus to be โWomen of Powerโ, and it did convey that...which was great...but that was about it! Oh and nice imagery with special effects sometimes, but I was always waiting for it to develop into a great story that never happened...what a waste.
The conversations between characters were what I can only describe as โstupidโ...normal people do not talk like that.
The characters made decisions that made no sense like Nimue not taking the advice of Merlin (her father) and powerful dark lord or her mother but ran off and took the advice of a fey girl she only just met. There are countless instances like this that just made me bury my head in my hands while simultaneously forcing myself to carry on watching it because...well because I really really wanted it to get better.
Itโs probably worth a 3 star review but because someone took their time, probably spent millions of dollars to create this, I do not think it should be rewarded with anything other than the lowest rating. Cโmon itโs like children wrote the storyline and the dialogue....sorry!
