Ian A. @TheGreatScot 2h 4.5 Stars. The story is great so far, being three episodes in. My only complaint would be that the sets appear to be too clean. For example, there is one scene where two guys are digging a hole. The hole looks simply too neat. Too tidy. But overall, the series is great so far. See more Rachel B @rainingtomatoes 2h There is so much garbage on tv right now, this was super refreshing. Very, very well done. See more Armond W. 1d Good quality cinema, with a Lord of the Rings feel See more Ryan H @Streeturchin 1d When I started up the first episode of Pendragon and saw it was written by Jeremy Boering, my first thought was "This is going to suck. Lady Ballers was funny in an Adam Sandler movie kind of way, but was not a good movie". I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The writing and directing is great. I don't know how Jeremy went from producing podcasts to writing and directing a mature fantasy epic the quality level of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, but I'll never doubt him again. See more Garrett P @GarrettPoulos 1d Great production quality and story!!! See more Tom W 1d I am very much enjoying the Pendragon Cycle. My only complaint is it's hard to understand the dialogue. Closed caption would be very helpful. Shalom, Tom See more Read all reviews
