There is very little character development throughout the first few episodes, the plot feels very rushed, and the premise is not very interesting. I feel like this adaptation does do the original story any justice. I want to like the characters and the plot, but the hurried way of telling the story spoils the narrative. The scenery and costume design are amazing, but little else of this show is. There are moments of intertwining story telling mixed with long periods of irrelevant dialog. I wanted to like this show because I like the era and the premise. I really liked Outlander and similar shows, but this is nothing like those shows.
