This is a masterpiece of television: scenery, costumes, plot, drama. Perhaps not 100% historically accurate, but beautiful and very entertaining. Season 1 is very fast-paced, with the producers seemingly unaware it would be renewed. Season 2 starts off at a much slower pace, but once it "moves", it draws the viewer in as never before.
Note that my 10-star rating is for the above. Season 3 is altogether different ... I was unable to continue after the first ten minutes, as in my opinion it just did not "work".
