I really like all the actors and any period shows which is why I watched the entire thing, but the storyline is pretty bad. The main thing though that bothered me that seemed so easily changeable was the illustrator character being of zero use at any point in the show. Even the first scene where he draws the dead body so the Ailentist can see the deals, I thought oh ok I guess cameras weren't readily available - but then throughout the series theres a ton including hand held ones. Why not make him a journalist or something else useful? He's such an integral part of the crew for no apparent reason other than he's sort of likable.
anyway ill probably watch the next season lolol
