Sigh..... I really wanted to like this. Game of Thrones did such a good job making you want to miss the next episode. Something new and characters that weren't boring or predictable. There are some very good actors in this show while others leave me scratching my head why they were cast in the sort of drama. I don't like to pick on actors but Olivia Cooke is sweet and all but she's the same in everything she plays, lacking I guess the ability to "reach". Not sure what it is but isn't convincing at all in this kind of drama. Milly Alcocks character started out with much promise, as the show seemed to want to lean on it's female characters, but the writing didn't suss out her role beyond being a dumb slave to her uncles perverse desires. So many missed opportunities to steer the story but it tripped and fell flat.
So I saved season 1 for a dry period when nothing else was going on entertainment wise and now season 2. Yup, it gets worse. There's no one character to root for and most you dislike in a bland way. The only surprising thing is just how uninteresting it gets. Won't even make it to my "whenever nothing else is on" list
