Well, this show is not good.
It gets a little bit better I guess, but the characters are poop, and it's SO talky. It's unbelievably frustrating to attempt to watch it even just for the action sequences because of the amount of dialogue and monologues. Brief instants of time will have full conversations take place within them while characters are galloping on horses and cannons are firing all around, and characters will narrate exactly what's happening and what they're seeing as we do. Proper character introductions and plot exposition don't exist, it's just dumped on us. Rather than let the viewer see that this character is "brash, but loyal" or that one is "meek but intelligent" the show just tells us. Bleh.
It does get better, but it's not good. I hold out some hope that the movie can drop the abundance of talk and let the action scenes progress without interrupting them for multiple monologues, but I doubt it will fix the poop characters and who knows if it will sequel-bait?
I'll give the movie a chance, but 25 episodes of the show is more than enough to be able to wash my hands and walk away.
