Julia Ormond is a great actress, in fact, the whole cast does well.
You can only do so much with a cheesy, easy, lazy script, right? This show started very well, but the 2nd season was a big let down. They have already taken away the final threat -- death. It isn't just a few people, half the cast dies and comes back to life on a semi-regular basis.
The killing of the king was just too easy - after so much build up.
And then switching places... I won't even get into that.
All that being said, it's fun enough to watch. If you don't expect any real plot twists, or amazing surprises - it's fine. It beats reality TV, and the genre is one of my favorites.
