I enjoyed the show even though I had to fill gaps in with my imagination. Though I can't rate based on my imagination so here is why I've given it a 7.0 overall.
It's the same old story where the pertinent parts were edited out of the show which leads to too many hollow scenes (there should be 0). Example is watching a dramatic scene and asking "where did this guy even come from?" as there wasn't enough of a back story for us to care about them.
There was obvious effort put into the development of the show, I enjoyed the general story line and the costumes looked well made.
