One can't help but get Black Sails vibes right from the intro and I believe that was planned. Yet, it is slightly incoherent, with Indians rowing in canoe footage being completely out of place for one and the Mexican standoff possibly based on historical events and what could possibly be pictured in consecutive seasons, rather than what was actually pictured.
And here goes my typical I don't like Jason Momoa. At all. But he doesn't bug me here. In fact, he's fine. It's just I can't help but like how Cobbs Pond and Lord Benton were portrayed much more. It's a matter of personal preference, I guess, but these two were played brilliantly. I absolutely dig all the accents and most of the characters are in fact great. Maybe except Sokanon. I could not stand her always deeply depressed face. Seasons one and two are fine, season three is quite weak in my book and episodes opening with quotes that are completely irrelevant to time and events is a questionable decision to say the least. In fact, it annoyed the crap out of me. Conclusion was actually cleverly made. It both leaves the gate open for a sequel and at the same time draws the line. Feels like they knew season four is unlikely right from the start. Still, a good watch. Just not that great.
