I'm interested in period drama, especially the middle ages. I thought this Spanish language production would bring a different perspective to Hollywood. Well it did, sort of. But in all the wrong ways. A few minutes into episode one and I was shaking my head at the bad writing and acting. The actor playing El Cid, who historically must have had extraordinary charisma, displays no charisma at all.
He's a joke. As is most of this show.
