Superb

A complete show that offers a lot: diverse stories, memorable scenes, memorable lines, mesmerizing music, gorgeous scenery, fantastic costumes, inspiration, challenges beyond screen, history, adventures, mistique, subtle plots (connected across seasons, need to pay a lot of attention to connect dots). Above all, there is an intense love story benefiting from unique and magic chemistry between the lead actors. All of these make an addictive show that you want to watch over and over, despite a few flaws (some inconsistencies of the story lines, some rushed plot lines, some people debate on sex scenes and rape tropes, or brute violence). Acting is getting better as seasons progress, reaching high class levels in Season 5. Characters develop nicely, from the passion of the first 2 seasons to maturity and complexity in Seasons 4 and 5. A unique show with unique capacity to create a diversity of emotions and convey them, making the viewers part of the action. A true masterpiece in a superior league.
