Girlfriend wanted to watch it, so we got through the whole thing in a week. It's apparently pretty popular. Ellen page isn't half bad, most of the other performances are mediocre, leading to some cheesiness. Good effects, excellent soundtrack, couple of particularly cool / memorable scenes. Not exactly top tier quality TV by any stretch in this era, but not bad either, and certainly entertaining. I'd put it roughly on par with Last Kingdom in terms of quality. I'll probably end up watching the second season.
