Ok there is 2 things you need to know about this show

1 it is really bad and

2 it is compulsive viewing

I have to hand it to the script writers, they are off their heads.

I nearly quit after the first episode, such was my disappointment, I wish they had not used the Knights Templar as their premise for the show as it makes a mockery of this historical order, but, once I realised that this has no actual bearing in fact, I got over it.

Maybe they should have called this, men with beards and swords.

Just think period drama with a lot of sword fighting with nonsensical plot twists poor continuity and every cliché you can think of.

It is more like a Arthurian saga, I am sure they stole some of the Knights names from the legends, it is likely that the script writer does not know the difference between the Knights of king Arthur and the Knights Templar, as from a historical POV they do not seem to have any degree of knowledge on this subject

It is a pity they did not try a little bit harder with the plot as the sets and action sequences are pretty good, never the less it is still watchable if only to see how stupid the plots are, at times it is cringeworthy but it always somehow redeems itself enough to remain watchable in an OMG that was predictable kind of way.

A crazy show where the script writers get to indulge themselves with plots that have no basis in fact or reality - it is completely audacious, off the wall stupid.

sometimes something is so bad that it is good.
