Honestly, some of the actors are awful in this series. There are some cool things about the show but visually it looks like Xena Warrior Princess sometimes. Especially that scene where the warrior tribe are all fighting each other and raping each other. I started laughing out loud. I haven't read the books and it seems like the story is good, everything else is kinda weak. I'll still watch it but I think it's overrated just like Entourage is highly overrated.
