The first few episodes can make your head spin but keep watching and everything comes together and scenes I remember from the first couple episodes take on a new light with more understanding. Trying to tell a story that takes centuries, even millennia is tough with a series of books. Doing that on the screen is I imagine even tougher. If you want fast paced action packed sci-fi, this probably isn't for you. There's a deep story here that will likely take several seasons to unfold but I'm riveted and can't wait for season 2.

I love this show. The story is gripping and thrilling to watch unfold. But what's really amazing is the art of the show. The filming, choreography, wardrobes, lighting, music, everything is stunning. The fight scenes are always a highlight, always suspenseful, always beautiful to watch... Well, except the gore that inevitably happens but you still cannot tear your eyes from it. Sparring and dancing are merged into one. Words cannot do the filming justice, you just have to experience it.
