....its become a young teenagers (mostly girls) transition from the usual Disney productions for 10-12 year olds.

1st, the characters. Could they be more unbelievable? A captain that is all buddy buddy and feelings, and the acting itself is terrible as she cycles trough face expressions like angry, compassionate, sad, and happy. And all in 12 seconds were not of the expressions seems real. I will be surprised if she will ever be mentioned at the oscars and similar.

I could go on with the cast, but I believe she as the main role says it all as the terrible acting tickles down on them all.

2nd, the dialogues.... Wow, what are they trying to express I wonder? Filled with interpersonal meaningless dialogues that will only satisfy a 13 year old girl, or a scorned wife in the midst of a divorce while she is finishing the 1 ltr bottle of vodka (thank something the children is at the fathers house which he shares with his formal secretary t his night.

But here is the thing, its not only this show, its most shows. Resident Alien, Spiderman, you name it and there it is, cliche dialogues that seem to be there to dictate and imprint on how we all should think and behave. Or maybe the writers are just teenage girls and there are no mystery behind the drop in TV writing? Maybe its the same AI writing them all?

I dont know, but its garbage!

And its all a shame, it started so promising, even though the start was maybe more "Star Wars" than "Star Trek"? Shopuld have been a warning, but many of us fell for it..

I managed to watch the first half of the first episode before I gave up in pretty much an anger state.

This review isnt about the acting, nor the writing, Im sure its up to par, and that series will be a great show for those willing to ignore a couple of important things.

I fume when I see our ancestors struggles and harsh reality being portrayed to the younger ones that dont fully grasp our history as a fabulous time where a "peasant" could beat up their landlords, children played happily in the streets, and their parent worked 9-5 jobs having energy to be caring and loving parents to their children.

So again, its not about the acting, the writing, the directing etc, its about how we for a long time have taken historically eras and presenting them as something they are not. As if a woman had liberties as we see in this show (well, the half episode I saw for my count), just how the peasants talked to a "nobleman is disturbing.

And dont get me wrong, I gave "The completely made up adventures of Dick Turpin" an 8 (which for me is high, but low when I see how people in general vote. 5 is average, just saying folks..), and in historically accuracy its even worse. But nobody will take it for anything else than what it is, comedy and parody!

So please parents watching this with their kids, please inform them that this is complete fantasy with no root in reality. Many will grow up, with a number of shows like this, that our past was easy, and it wasnt and isnt for most of us!

Whats next? Oliver Twist as a fat happy boy? Or maybe as a girl? Anything goes it seems!

I wonder when our species will ever learn? This is truly dangerous in the long run.

....those who managed to give it more than 5 stars, no, more than 3 stars actually.

You must be some wonderful positive people. And that was it for the positivity

Pure garbage! Id rather watch the bold and beautiful, and that to me is close to the bottom of TV shows.
