The one line preview Netflix intrigued me and made me keep watching before I realized I reached my personal record time in continuously watching without a break.
The plot, at once, connects to all those warring nations being played by bigger interests. Not a scene is wasted. The plot and narration brings about the internal dynamics of the nations in that region (bigger and smaller) in such a nuanced way that it is an eye opener of sorts.
Performances are just awesome. Tough to single out any one but the lead characters are just top grade.
