Season 1 Review:
The problem with the miniseries, written by Peter Harness and directed by Toby Haynes, is its lack of emotional potency, at least in the first two episodes. At moments, the amazingly constructed magical set pieces threaten to overwhelm both the fine points of the plot and the wonderful performances.

The premise is intriguing but the execution leaves much to be desired. I wanted to like this show, but it tended to drag and the second half of the series seemed unfocused and rambling and the ending with unsatisfying.
