Wildly inconsistent and disappointing. The first episode is full of intrigue and makes you think this is going to be a dark, mature fantasy drama, only for it to then unravel into what could feasibly be mistaken for a teen Disney movie by the end. Episodes 5 and 6 are very good - wonderful and unique storytelling! They needed to focus more on that sort of stuff than the rest of the mundane, often boring and juvenile plotlines from other episodes.
I will tune into season 2, but if it hasn't improved after the first couple of episodes I will drop it. Being VERY generous giving this a 6/10. If it wasn't for episodes 1, 5, and 6, it would be an easy 4/10.
@ragreynolds yea it's OKish... 6/10 Neil G's stuff doesn't transport well onto screen nor is it widely accessible, still I wasn't blown away by most of the acting nor the pacing of the episodes. Mis en scene is beautiful at times, though.
