This tale of a post-apocalyptic society run by feudal barons and their bands of “Clipper” warriors has characters you can care about and awesome martial arts as well. I’m a sucker for a good martial arts movie. When you pack it full of emotion, drama, and people who seem real, it’s hard to look away.
This kind of fantasy world with high production values and with. Story that requires long-term commitment to follow could only happen in the world that Game of Thrones got started. Ten years ago there was nothing like either show on TV.
Netflix and other streaming services really created a straight path between creators of stories like this and the fans who love them. On the down side, though, I don’t subscribe to cable, only Netflix and Amazon. So I guess I won’t be seeing Season 3 for a while now.
