Off to a great start!!!

Absolutely loved the first season even though it was a bit slower compared to the first episode of the second season. It was a long wait since last year and after seeing it, every second was worth it!

They managed to additionally improve the mood and the setting of the era, and the actors contribution is amazing with gripping story and jumping through time back and forth, the show just pulls you in and leaves you wanting more. We finally get to see the story shaping in the direction that was set from the very beginning.

I have written this before and I will confirm it - one of the best new shows out there, I love it and I highly recommend it!
