There are a number of talented actors in this show, notably Donald Sutherland. However, I found the plot, and more importantly the script, to be confusing. It seemed to lurch from painfully slow scenes where people are patting each other on the back to show their sympathy, to shock-like lines and events (e.g. the priest who seems rather aggressive (and unfaithful!) for a man of the cloth. We'll see how it goes as the premise is always popular - dynasties and all their problems.
