All in all this first season didn't live up to my expectations. It's riddled with the cliché's of the genre and has little to no historical value I expected from it. This isn't a series about the Knight's Templar or their downfall, this is about Landry and his mistress. Even the "big bad" De Nogaret fails to be memorable. The whole secret society aspect doesn't come through, the Spanish plot, the Pope... in fact nothing comes through in the end.
It's a shame there are so little good shows and movies about the Crusade-era as I'm there's a wealth of religious and political plots to be harvested for a decent show.
