I just watched the Season 2 Sneak Peak twice, it is probably the first episode of season 2.
The cast is all there and has great chemistry. The humor is suitable for the time period they are in.
Unfortunately that's all the positive I can say which really hurts. Season one was amazing. It had everything to warrant a season 2. Season 2 drops the ball with an extremely uninteresting plot. All the magic that was in the first season is gone
The talents of this great ensemble cast feels like it's being wasted compared
Overall this season is not going to work for me. There is too much of the magic missing. The cast carries the show as it should but they obviously got no help from the writers.
As for the Dark Ages I'll stick with Monty Python but you might just like it.
2 Stars for the brilliant cast
