This would have a 10 star rating, or even a 20 star rating, but a few episodes used some goofball humor totally incongruous with the personality of a (few) character(s). I really didn't like that, even though it happened maybe, two or three times? It detracted some integrity from the show. But, look--it detracted only 0.5 a star! So, do watch the show!

It was something that stayed on my watchlist because I wasn't sure if I wanted to potentially waste my time on a too-serious historical drama, but... it took my by surprise.

It was like a gift had fallen into my hands. :)
