Just started watching this today. Very well done but perhaps the politics is a bit heavy.

The characters' names are even sillier than those of 'Game of Thrones', and the plot sounds pretty daft, as well.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

No, I love Dickens, but his names are amusing, whereas GoT names, and these, are just tiresome.

Surely the point as in any fantasy genre is that the names have to be 'odd' to mark it as fantasy? See Tolkien for example.
