Totally agree! While I find it pleasurable, I still feel like something’s missing. I think it’s the tension. Good believable - even if it’s a drama based on an alternative reality - tension. The source of it - I’ll repeat myself - in my opinion is the Queen’s character. She’s the appointed villain but I see a lot of confusion around her motives and reasoning. If the stakes are muddled it’s difficult to care. And here’s the point, I also feel like the show - as aesthetically appealing as it is - it’s not making me care. Although I feel a twinge of connection while watching those flashbacks it’s always a fleeting moment. Then we are usually plunged back to the superficial level, that’s why I suppose I don’t still feel connected to the heart of the show and the main characters

That is the fact, I think I’m not fully convinced by the story because I can’t see why the Queen is so angry/afraid, villainy.Like they are giving us bits and piecesof the two main characters personalities and what shaped them but still I don’t understand the Queen’s motives. I think it’s also a problem of overacting… Ian hinted at the possibility he could be willing to be King. Maybe that’s the reason behind the queen animosity but still… Overall I can’t feel there’s a real struggle to overcome. I’m enjoying the rest though
