Did anyone catch this Sunday night? If not catch it here.
I thought it was very well written, and well acted. It pretty much mirrored the account of Saul & David from 1 Samuel. My biggest issue was the homosexuality of the Jonathan character, Jack. I believe that Jonathan was not homosexual. I thought that there was one very sappy and unbelievable moment.
Yes... after seeing the first episode I set my DVR to record the series.
It has a lot of classic Greek "Ironic Tragedy" in it.
Very well written and acted.
I didn't see it the same way. I thought the script seemed thin, and the acting rather amateurish. The portion where the 'hostages' were so easily located and saved by a single soldier was ridiculous. What capturing army would hold political prisoners within 200 yards of the enemy line with little defense? And how does one soldier sneek into the tent through an entire line of tanks and release them? Come on.
I turned it off at that point. The writing is thin and beggarly. The acting marginal at best. Of course it might have gotten better after that. I will never know - they failed to capture me and I was in great anticipation of an epic-type series.

I caught a bit of it and thought it silly and boring, but all I saw was just about five minutes during commercial breaks of Breaking Bad which proved to be a heck of a lot more compelling.
