This is a review after the first episode. There are three main issues with it, one might be irrelevant to you. EDIT: edit after the whole season at the bottom.
1. The dialogues are terrible. 90% of them are boring exposition dumps in which characters talk about history or what they will do in next few seconds. Then you watch them do it. And repeat. Long, boring, repeated over and over.
2. The dialogues are terrible. The actors are either bad or their lines are way over the top, full of patos. All the talk about freedom, justice, law and principles... terrible. If you are not a native Polish speaker - this might not be that big of an issue.
3. The plot has potential. It might really be a solid piece of a story. But for the first 42 minutes (out of an hour) I was sitting there thinking "when will it finally start...?".
EDIT: the second half is really worthwhile. The plot shows potential, the scenografy is very good. Great parallels to historical characters, nice easter eggs. I actually change my score to 7/10. I'd give it an eight if not for the super-slow and clumsy first two episodes.
