Review by CHRISTINE DEITNER

June 22, 2019

What I liked

There is so much to like, where to start. I will say the inventive use of theatrical elements to tell the story, from deaths by sword to what happens when someone cries ‘horse!’ makes this a particular delight.

What I didn't like

Can’t think of what I would dare say to alter it. It is what it is.

My overall impression

If you’re still pissed off because “Game of Thrones” failed to give you the heroines you wanted, you must see this show. Not only because you might be in need of a good laugh but also because it is a hilarious take on the hero’s journey. If you could care less about GOT, you should still see this one, especially if you like smart writing, solid improv, dragons, swordfights and female creatives, and casts.
