Could be a SUPERB show... but they've done it again!

The concept is great.

We have England at 18th century (nice period to represent it) and we have a girl trying to get justice and revenge. Okay, the plot is not so "unique", but we have something to work with, right?

So, the 1st episode is quite good (with flaws)... and when you continue watching the rest episodes the thing's getting from bad to worst.

Why? Again... once again... our modern "plague", the "political correct" issue! Therefore, we have a TOTALLY ORDINARY girl (without a SINGLE THING to making her different from the others), she's not even good looking (her younger sister is!), she's acting like a boy/man (so it's a bit "binary" character!) while the rest male characters are "not that important"...

The funny thing is... the main female character ALSO IS NOT THAT MUCH important!!! All characters are boring, dull, they don't have much of character, you're not getting involved with them much - so you don't really CARE for them, even for the main (ordinary) character!

Then, you have the "supernatural" element, a male (!!!!) fairy who he's "tranforming" our main female character to combo of... Hulk, DeadPool & Wolverine... together!!!! I mean, okay, I want to she her kicking buts... but she's UNTOUCHABLE, IMMORTAL, she can't get hurt at all!!!

And we have the "supposed REALISTIC HISTORICAL" element; the 18th century England! It's so obvious this tv-show is been written, produced and directed by AMERICANS, not even Europeans!!!... The landscape "looks like" England, the clothing "looks like" English, but generally NOTHING convincing that this is ACTUALLY ENGLAND of 18th century!

So... bottom line is, it could be AMAZING show.

Now, is just a "so 'n so" show, and it's getting repeated and boring after few episodes.
