I don't normally write reviews here on IMDB but this show is currently rated an 8.9 which is simply ridiculous.
After watching the first two episodes I had to go online just to find out what the hell was going on. It turns out the first episode consists of several separate timelines which is not obvious at all. Supposedly there is a brief line of dialogue somewhere in the second segment which indicates it, IF you remember the queen's name from the earlier segment.
The audio is terrible. Even on very high volume it's difficult to make out some of the words.Turn on your subtitles.
The pacing is pretty uneven. The first few episodes proceed a breakneck pace. As some guy on Reddit said: "This show need to slow down".
The lighting in some scenes is pretty cheap-looking. Reminds me of a soap opera.
Apparently if you've read the books or played the games it isn't quite so confusing.
On the plus side, the action is superb. The sword fight in the market in episode 1 is short, but the best sword fighting scene I've ever seen on screen.
