I thought this show had some bad and good points, but I saw a sufficient number of good points to keep on giving it a try. Specifically, Mitch Pileggi and Lucy Lawless. Brilliant actors - I wish they had had more to do.
When the show was about a family in conflict - Kathleen, Richard and John - it was strong and dynamic. I thought the show had a great look to it and obviously was made with great production values. I think some of the writing and the overt marketing to teenage girls was regrettable. Travis Fimmel I never did expect much from, and entirely too much was made of him allegedly being oh so sexy. Puhleeze. I really think the show was getting stronger when it was curtailed. I'd like to see it come out on DVD.
