Is it worth starting?
This is 4 seasons deep — English sci-fi & fantasy with a drama streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 7.4/10 from 2,678 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
