First the positives - it looks great, it's shot beautifully. Evans (especially) and Huisman are excellent. The big action set pieces are terrifically staged, tense and compelling.
The negatives - the character of Amber is fundamentally unsympathetic and basically irritating from the start, which is a problem when the whole point of the show is that these people love her so much to go to war to get her back.
Also there is no need for 10 episodes- this feels like - a 4-6 part series stretches out to 10.
Fundamentally flawed but just about worth it for the action set pieces and Luke Evans was a standout throughout.
