All these people with their own agendas, back-stabbing, fortune hunting, great food (wild boar excepted), great costumes... What's not to like? Not sure how we got a young, black brother to the old, white Duke as it was never adequately explained.
The Duke was a bit too old and unattractive for the role, although I'm sure even if he were a hideous hunchback all the likely lasses would have been throwing themselves at him, being a Duke and all.
Most of the scenery is rather nice and wherever they filmed the inside shots are spectacular.
The baddies are REALLY bad and the goodies are few and far between. Some of the acting isn't stellar but it keeps you watching.
