The bads:
1. I've never watched Travis Fimmel in any other project so I'm not sure if he looked drunk throughout the entire show because of his personal acting style or because of the role. It almost felt like the actor himself was drunk.
2. It started with an interesting idea but gradually got more and more boring. The ending was anticlimactic for me. I expected more of a plot twist or maybe a more shocking/twisted reason as to why Isabel was killed. She was killed because she tried to protect those boys and she was found out. Don't get me wrong, it's a perfectly plausible reason as to why she died but not an interesting or suspenseful one. I would have rathered if maybe her father or her sister had killer her instead; that would've been more upsetting but more climactic.
3. The pace was slow. I think they should have condensed it to fewer episodes.
The goods:
1. I really like how they touched upon the slavery/racism problem lots of modern countries like Australia still face in this day and age.
2. The Australian backdrop is wild yet stunning.
3. Travis Fimmel is eye candy.
