Don't understand the harsh reviews. Most of them seem to be about not meeting people's expectations for special effects. Not every filmmaker has a billion dollar budget. Kind of reflects how entitled and shallow audiences have become, valuing special effects over an entertaining storyline. Some reviewers also complained about subpar acting, another criticism I failed to see. Series ended with potential for another season, which I hope they do. Not perfect, but if entertainment is your goal, don't let the more negative reviews keep you from giving it a try. You might find yourself getting reeled in.
