While this show seems to have been nearly universally derided, I’m going to step up to the plate.
I’m enjoying it.
Being a bit behind on things, I’m only now catching up with the show (just watched episode 4 of 6), but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen. There’s no denying that its silly and over-the-top, but that’s what I’m finding fun about it. I’ve been enjoying switching my brain off and going along for the ride. The over-arching plot with the mystery behind Gillian’s mother’s breakdown and Gillian’s continuing obsession behind what her mother was looking for adds a bit to the episodes (super-duper sword? British history? Hmmmmm 
).
Sadly, as I mentioned it took a fair kicking from the critics. I’ve no idea what the ratings were like, but I’d certainly be happy to see a second series. There’s nothing wrong with a show just being a bit silly and fun, and as long as it doesn’t start taking itself too seriously then I think there’s a place for it.
