An amazing movie. [Spoilers] A shady and unethical business lead to a dangerous rivalry which eventually turned into a fruitful partnership. This is not a movie in which you are supposed to like and empathize with the main character(s) but a beautifully orchestrated and somewhat tragic set of events that don’t fail to impress and provoke deep thoughts about today’s capitalistic society and the exploitable vulnerability of the average unaware person which is taken advantage of by large corporations. A must-watch, featuring amazingly talented actors: Peter Dinklage, Rosamund Pike and Dianne Wiest

Such a shame to see a a high budget series like this, with great special effects, CGI, costumes and scenery ruined by atrocious dialogue script and bad acting. The series improves slightly as it continues (hence the 2 star rating instead of 1) because Gustaf Skarsgård (as Merlin) steals the spotlight with his acting skills and obvious experience.

It’s unbelievable how bad this show is, and despite that, people still watch it. The actually interesting plot is accompanied by bad actors, horrendous CGI and an overload of naivety by our wonderful “actors” if you can call them that. It takes an impressive amount of stupidity to like this show or even think it’s a good production. It is just that everything it features falls below the norm of what is considered good. Would not recommend!
