Review of The Longest Day in Chang'an

I have just finished watching episode 1 and won't be watching any more. The whole thing looks gorgeous and is full of promising characters - it even has camels! But the English subtitles are so wooden that the whole thing made little sense. It wasn't helped by a unrealistic plot involving a manacled prisoner mumbling every so often through his lanky hair. Perhaps it's a blast if you speak Mandarin, though, based on the earlier reviews here!
