Fun, entertaining escape tv. Actors play well off of one another. Nareen Andrews is especially entertaining. He seems to be enjoying the role and going over the top. Filming location (Malta) gives a realistic backdrop for the program.
The ship's cook is a wonderful dark comic character.
Because it is escapism, I am not particularly concerned with accuracy both mythologically and costumes. Rubber soled shoes, machine stitched clothing doesn't bother me. But the witches gel French manicure is a little to blatant. I could forgive black, green or natural nails but an obvious squoval French manicured...drives me nuts.
