I wanted to like this more than I did. The concept is great, the cinematography is good, there are some wonderfully solid character moments, and it's nice to hear indigenous music throughout. I think the problem for me is that I read the books beforehand and the show diverges dramatically from the source material. Often times that can work in favour for a show as the mediums are very different. This is a rare case for me where I think the show could have done better by staying in some ways more true to the book - especially by possibly embracing less western styles of storytelling. Also, trying to please western audiences less.
