4.5

The premise of this is so unique and so so fun and engaging. The characters are a bit flat and sometimes do inexplicable things (not bc theyre in 1700s scotland) but overall it was extremely well paced, plotted, and executed. I was INVESTED. The characters are pretty well written and developed (sometimes) but it rly feels like ur in that time/place. At times it’s super dark but overall it feels like an exciting adventure (idk why cause things kinda sucked back then but still). The end is rly dark but not nearly as bad as the show.
