★☆☆☆☆
A political social tract pretendig to be entertainment.
1) Too many people wear clothes and women makeup the envy of titled ladies of the realm, instead of dress suitable for a colony of adventurers, settlers, poor religious freedom seekers, and banished criminals.
2) The politicians are corrupt and getting rich, meanwhile the well armed population is too dumb to notice nor rebel.
3) The clergy are all intolerant and witch burners, not an humanitarian among them.
4) Punishments are more cruel than was historical.
5) The language and attitudes are right up to date, nobody spoke nor acted like that back then.
This looks like a very bad video game exaggerating reality, such as Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto but set in the 17th century.
So we go from the classic admirable and well researched historical drama Downton Abbey to a piece of ridiculous schlock. They would need to pay intelligent people to watch this.
