It's a great watch, I loved it. But afterwards - because I didn't want to spoil it beforehand - I wikipediaed the characters and found that the story is far from the truth which makes me feel like they have put a lot of false emotion onto history. *note that I know nothing about Austrian history so my understanding is merely through the English language wiki pages. Apart from the divergence from history I think this is worth the watch. I do wonder how season two (if it's happening?) will continue in accordance to historical truth or if it will put false hope onto what is perhaps not a fairy tale.
