I can't say I was overenjoyed with the first season of this story. It's to me as a male fantasy nerd obvious it was a woman who wrote the books. You see it in the details and the focus in the same way the writer had in Outlander, for example. It's exactly the same as in what's important to tell and what's not important to tell. Where do you put your focus? Female writers have a very different focus than male writers when it comes to fantasy.

And as a male, I have to say the endless minutes of discussing hair, dresses and the feeling of being pompered with are such a female writer classic. The silly romantic scenes scattered all over. There's an overabundance of filler scenes that are completely unnecessary focusing on the wrong things. The characters don't discuss what they should discuss.

The sexual interests of the characters are also apparently very important, but I blame that more on these times than the writer and why this story became successful, apparently.

It's mediocre fantasy. Not good and not bad. You can always fast forward the nonsense and almost get a good story out of it, but you really won't, it's the classical fantasy clichées in abundance with a feminist touch.

It's worth a watch if you really like fantasy stories but not much more than that. I would say it's more romantic fantasy than just fantasy. It's not my cup of tea and I'm hesitant to watch a second seasons. It would be for the characters and not the story, which are quite well written I must say, which is the biggest plus - apart from the agenda nonsense.

I don't think I will ever see a movie made by Tarantino again. I don't even want to know the story behind the drug induced fumes that made Tarantino fall from a cliff since Pulp Fiction. He has produced flop after flop and this I believe, might be the glorious downfall of a producer.

This is a movie about torture, because I can't see anyone still being interested in the story halfway through.

He caught some big names in the name of actors, but otherwise, I can't see anything saving this film from being a total failure. I just waited and waited for anything of interest to happen and it never did.

I can write you a story of a family being trapped in a snowy mountain, discussing irrelevance. Nothing of that would ever produce interest in Hollywood. Apparently, if you're Tarantino, anything of mumbling incoherence will produce gold.

Tarantino is the reverse of Midas at this point, with consequential results.
