It was nice. I enjoyed it and I hope there will be some continuation going on
Normally this really would not be my kind of show, since I'm not into sci-fi, fantasy, or even magic for that matter. And yet it works wonderfully ! I do recommend you take a first look even if the abstract does not appeal to you. The acting, the writing, the suspense, and of course the setting in early 19th century England all come together quite well.
Not a bad series. Not really my kind of thing, but had it's moments.
