Quirky, fun and light hearted

Warning: Spoilers
This is a great little comedy. It doesn't take things too seriously and is a nice light hearted watch.

Amanda finds herself needing to get away from her perfect wedding when she finds her fiance cheating on her with another woman. She ends up at a renaissance fair where she finds a group of oddball characters who take her under their wing and give her the friendship she finds she is lacking amongst her rich friends.

The first two episodes follow her as she tries to come to terms with her situation and her pre-conceived notion of those often found at such fairs. You also get a glimpse into what is in store as it turns out the woman her boyfriend cheated with also has links to the fair and she has a grudge to bear against Amanda !!

The characters are a great mix and the comedy is well written without being over the top or in your face. There are no horrible laugh tracks and there is enough action to keep you entertained for the duration of each episode. You meet a lonely and power hungry queen, a camp Shakespeare who doesn't know his own plays, a mud wrestling pauper, a buxom washerwoman with a heart of gold, a ditzy but kind couple, a man who likes his stick and a drunk preacher man amongst many others.

Enjoy the laughs and don't over analyse it - you won't be disappointed.
