A good show. Good plot, but had a lot of potential that they wasted. The first episode never determines the whole show and I will say this to the new viewers, if you dont like the first episode, do not stop. I promise you will see good action, war and all the mediaeval period stuff you want. It has great characters, tho thw character development of the characters weren't as good as to be expected, but its just the first season. I will say it is a different show I have seen. It fails to put many historical legends and accuracies in a certain way but we can blame that onnthe writing of the show.
The actors and actresses of the show did a great job. They brought life to the characters which were a little dead in their writings and dialogues.
It has its moments, but I hope they increase the budget of the show in the next season as to make the cgi ahd graphics better.
