This is suppose to be a "road not taken", in the spartacus storyline. However they made a bunch of wrong decisions that have to be addressed.
So lets start from the top. After multiple seasons of Spartacus they insist on using this horrificly broken way of speaking where it neither serves the authenticity of how people spoke nor does it help anyone at the present understand what the hell they're saying. Next they choose the easily least likable character in the entire spartacus saga to be the protaganist? Then they put in a pretty bad story that really added nothing to the original, and expanded nothing worth watching. And finally they didn't even bother putting in a compelling main actress to form the story around like they did in the original around spartacus. Putting all of these factors together and you get a terrible show, and has no chance at success at all.
3/10 good costume design, and that's about it.

This is a movie that very literally has no point. At any given point in time there are 3 plots circulating around it. Plot #1 what honey is doing, which seems to be some kind of version of being a P. I. but not really doing much in the way of investigating besides for getting nowhere fast with it. #2 What the pastor is doing, from what I can see he's got something shady going on which is a mix of some sort with his sex based church. And #3 the actual movie plot which is anyone's guess since there's no real way to make heads or tails of it. And that's about it. I wish I could tell you that they all run together in the end and make some grand reveal, they don't.
5/10 good acting, no idea what these plots are suppose to be, this is something to watch if you're bored and want to waste some time.

So let's start with the basics, this is a show about a woman who used to be an assassin, and then after retiring fell into a pile of circumstances which made her come out of retirement. Without putting to fine of a point on it, she's a terrible assassin, both when she was one and after she came out of retirement. She keeps making these dumb mistakes that even amateurs wouldn't make but she does. Like for example, throughout the entire series she cut off someone's finger and is using it to get into their phone, when really all she had to do was unlock the phone with it while it was still attached and then change the settings in the phone to no biometrics.
It's stupid tiny things like that, that litter the entire show with amateurish mistakes. It really makes it annoying to watch, but the most egregious thing about this show is her attitude. She's very literally the rudest person on the planet. It makes me really want someone to shoot her in the face if for no other reason then to just make the show tolerable.
2/10 not good writing, not good dialog, not a good story. Terrible acting, and worst of all no respect for any aspect of spycraft.
