Short Review

“This is not my genre. Even ‘Game of Thrones‘ I never really finished it. And for this, it took me 4-5 episodes to get into the first season. The budget and the visuals are matched, but the strongest part of the first season is the family drama and characters.

There are no good sides. Either can be seen as the hero or villain of the series. The issue for me is the family tree and the whole connection between these characters. I just googled the family tree just to understand it 😆“
