Just an idea, I'm not invested in thinking up a series. But, the series thing. I'm happy that Netflix is doing 12+ part series. I have been wanting that fur a while. Many UK comedy shows like faulty towers (I think) etc were 6 part series of 20+ minutes. Great for the actirs, they can work on it fur a few weeks production. (and month or more rehersal blocking) and go and work on something else. But bad for the viewer. They put great effort into quality, but I over in a flash and each year the cast get older for the next series, meaning. 3 years+ and the people's are cycling through life changes, particularly the women. I had also noticed that after about 1.5 hours of Red Dwarf (not the American pilot version) I was getting laughed out. So, I thought that the regular 40+ min episode cycle (1 hour time slot) of 12 episodes a year would be much better. But for action shows like this 60 min+ (1.5 hour time slot) of 12 episodes a year, would slow it down and pace the dirt better for quality. However, binge watching long episodes of a pure story arch on Netflix seems to be a bit much, even if only 12 episodes. But stuff, I hate compressed 'what story line can we come up with this week' weakly rushing through 40 minute episodes. Give us the enterprise density over 1 hr of footage, even 1.5 hours. Some density.
However, on other matters here, this show is a comedy action non intellectual hybrid crossover romp through fairy magic land, so I'm not expecting much, or the backstory. It characture the orcs in the place of real races, to intellectually reflect back the real racism. But it is a comedic characture. We know in ancient times they sided on the wring side, and are looked down upon. Enough said, because I expect they did it because they were going to present the backstory in subsequent films. It is pointing towards an univieling of the evil one and that probably entails the back story. I admit I would like to know more, but at the same time do we need directors to play 'Here comes the airplane' and spoon feed us like babies. It was the directors artistic choice even though I would have given more backstory, and in the dialogue genre of this sort of show, it fits.
I give it a 7. 5 is worth watching , particularly for a fan of whatever sort of thing is given a 5.
