Initial score: 8
Just two episodes in and and I find this series extremely good. Acting, story and action scenes are all well done.
I love the setting and the fact that it mixes period drama and fantasy. The leading actress is well cast which is something rare these days. Thank God not another Instagram plastic with duck lips but a real person, believable for that day and age.
Also great work on the villains of the story. Well written, not two dimensional and with appropriate menace and self conflict.
I hope it keeps that standards of the first episodes. I will update my rating, up or down accordingly as I watch more. But from what I've seen it most probably go up.
EDIT: well, that was unfortunate. It seems the creators, writers, directors had only two good episodes in them. The rest 6 are plagued by bad writing, no action scenes and that of low quality, unfocused plot. It even has a cruella de vil character and a queen that obviously lives in a stable and no means to protect her. Awful.
