Let me start off by saying that I have watched all the 10 episodes, not out of interest but in hopes of this series getting any better.
Did someone mention GoT in the same sentence as this? Blasphemy.
Never have I seen a fantasy show with lead characters so bland and forgetful.
So this supposedly "gifted" girl is to be the true wielder of the most powerful sword and she can't even swing it properly? All throughout the fight scenes, she swings it around in hopes of hitting something. Not to mention, she's also a witch but has trouble using her powers to get out of tough situations and to kill her enemies. That's TWO of the talents wasted on her.
Now, let's come to the casting. As a POC, I despise changing classics to include diversity, which seems so forced and ridiculous!
Here's an idea, why don't these film makers instead write NEW material for POC as leads? I for one would love to watch that. "Black Panther" wouldn't be such a huge hit without a black lead. Get my point.
When will this PC culture end and stop ruining movies/shows? They did the same with Witcher and now this... it doesn't work.
Judging from the comments, it's obvious this show was meant for teens only. They're the only ones giving it 10 points.
What a complete missed opportunity.
