I gave up on this after the third episode:
It's not completely awful or unwatchable but at the same time everything just feels empty. Things just happen without any emotional weight. An indian village is burned to the ground and cut - six years later, new characters. A new part of the story. Things just come and go. They show us some town which is then massacred - why do I care ? Those characters were on screen just a couple of minutes.
This projekt probably was to ambitous for its own good. They wanted to put to many things in. For that they needed more episodes. On the positive side there is the at times beautiful scenery. The CGI looks very outdated, though.
