This is a good show with a well thought out story line. You have to give it time some episodes are very exciting, others are dark and some are twisted while others just seem straight confusing. There are definitely great story arcs and some very emotional episodes. Overall this is a show where special effects only add to the story. The story is central and the characters have developed in a believable way not everyone remains the same but that only serves to make it more tangible. The last few episodes have been really good. I say the show dips between three stars to 4.5 with an occasional 5 star episode. I find myself smiling and laughing as well as feeling some anxiety. Overall I have recommended this show several times especially if you are into fantasy and don't mind it getting dark at times.
