Good acting from the horse, and that is the only good acting you see in this show.
Very pretty.
Everyone is scripted to be an idiot.
Really childish.

Letter to the King has been chosen to be the all-time most popular Dutch children book in the Netherlands. This is quite a remarkable feat, because youth literature in the Netherlands is of high quality.
The book is a coming-of-age story. A young man is asked to fulfill a dangerous quest on the night he is supposed to meditate on the duties of knighthood and should not speak for that knight, praying in a chapel and has to pray.
Then comes the knock on the door and the key-sentence: 'in the name of God, help me.' And Tiuri has to decide at app. page 2 what he has to do, give up his dream of becoming a knight by breaking his vows, or stay put.
What this series has to do with the book is a riddle.
The idea of suggesting that this series has anything to do with the book is a pure disgrace.
But hey, we're only in it for the money now aren't we.

Story is good but they end it in only 6 episodes, all things depended on the horse , they showed the horse(Ardanwen) so intelligent in comparison with other characters, the main character is too weak (tiuri) sometimes i realise there a no need for him. They didn't even explore the main negative character atleast some story about. Talking about support characters were nice , like the bonding between Iona and red knight.
Dont pay attention to people complaining about it not living up to the book, movie and series adaptations never live up to the books.
However, this series was a huge letdown and waste of time. I wasn't a fan of the main character, he just didn't fit properly... sometimes actors and actresses just dont look the part. This series had a lot of potential but they massively screwed it up, a lot of build up for nothing.... the villain barely used his powers and we never get to see just how much chaos he can cause, the whole build up to the battle is resolved in maybe 2 mins and of course they had to shove a scene in there just because.... it literally served no purpose but to please the lgbt community, there's a right way of writing it into a series or movie instead of just throwing it in there.
Massive letdown.... the trailer was better than the series
