I’d never seen it and season 2 just ended so thought I’d jump on it. Jared Harris and Lee Pace are a joy to watch. It definitely benefits from how strong the source materiel is (haven’t read it myself but I’ve been told it’s one of the best science fiction series).
OK. The acting is very uneven. Lee Pace and Jared Harris are great, though. What hooked me on this show is the world building. The whole concept of Empire (a person & a place) is fascinating. I'll be back for season two.
Tbch I don’t remember anything from season 1, but I can highly recommend season 2. I found it to be so well done- each character had depth and we got to see more to their stories and motives. I’m sad it’s now over but I guess I’ll have go watch Rogue One.
I’m in my 30’s and I still can’t get the hang of this. I race a razor around my face like it’s trying to catch a bus. Never shave when you’re in a hurry and don't shave like your competing in a time trial.
