Stuck with this until the end. Thought it was a little lack lustre to be honest, and some of the main acting was pretty poor.

Just finished it, really enjoyed it and looking forward to a second season.

Watched the first 2 episodes and really struggled to get into it. Life's too short. Far too much on netflix and amazon demanding my attention to stick with this. Shame as I wanted to enjoy it a lot more than I did.

I enjoyed that.
I really liked this. I loved the world they created. Quite different to anything we have seen done on a big budget for TV/Film before.
The biggest surprise was how good an actor Carla is. I thought she was fantastic. It is a shame Orlando Bloom is such an average actor, but he isn't too bad i guess.
The music was really good too.
The whole allegory for the fear of and attempted integration of immigrants (Trump, brexit etc) was a bit on the nose but at least it is topical i guess!
There were a few moments in the story that had me scratching my head but it wasn't too stupid.

Yeah, i liked Cara in this and in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
I really don't think it's an allegory for the current mess, this has been a problem for thousands of years and always seems to have the same rationale, bigotry and lack of any discussion that doesn't devolve to base aggression, usually to the detriment of the people that are suffering. This could have been made at any point in history and it'd still be a valid critique, not sure why anyone has to bring up the current reactionaries as if they're "new".
I do, so there we are
.You can have this out with Orlando as well
Actor Orlando Bloom revealed to Express.co.uk at the recent London premiere that this was one of the things that drew him to the project.
He said: “I think with the fantasy lens that we can look at the world through today, there’s great social commentary about the refugee migrant crisis, race, sexuality and power abuse.

Even so my point still stands, it's always a case of fantasying current issues in a manner that can be sold, doesn't change the fact that it's been the same way for so long. Though guess it's a bit pointless arguing this though (my point is purely cerebral), as the vast majority only ever see things through what they can currently see and i guess it's mostly irrelevant to see things across history rather than a lifetime.
I can suspend my belief enough to ignore the connection to whatever the writer is trying to convey as a political stand, i can take it at it's simplest.

Finished it last night. It was ok, very predictable and nothing that happened was a surprise. My wife enjoyed it more than I did, so I guess I'll end up watching season two when it arrives.
Curious as to why the last two episodes were in Dolby Atmos compared to Dolby Digital for the rest.

Same.
There were elements I enjoyed, like the setting and visuals. What I didn't get from the show was any real emotional connection or satisfaction.
It's also the first show I've had to watch with all the lights off, everything was so dark

Hoping this means season 2 will be a step up.

I thought the first one showed a lot of promise but it feels like the gap between season 1 and 2 has been huge.
Soldato
With how long it's been will def need a recap of s1.

I read somewhere that it is the 2nd and final season.
I think the Irish fairy girl is a bit of a handful in real life. Not sure how much bearing that has on production etc.
