I'm willing to enjoy a bit of "historical" fiction when it sidesteps history—I get a kick out of the CW's Reign with its prom dress wardrobe—but you really are pushing it when a) a group of Puritan settlers in Massachusetts look like they stepped off the catwalk and b) those same settlers with a handful of almost impossible to load 15th Century firearms not only unload/reload them as it they were hand-held Gatling guns and fight off a hoard of Native Americans who are overrunning the stockade they are using as a fortification. The scenes in Restoration England are a bit better but obviously no one was planning on establishing an accurate period piece. Other than that, there is plenty of blood, treachery, and "fun." Just don't look for an intelligent plot to account for any of the action.
