Oh no - I can’t believe

Beth’s mum has died - I loved the dynamic of their relationship.

Spoiler!

I was really disappointed by that, too. They did plant Easter eggs throughout by bringing focus to her mysterious illnesses, but I was still taken aback by the suddenness of her passing. I loved their relationship dynamic, too.

Yep, it deserves all the awards.

is it really that good? I haven's seen it yet , I think it might be too dark at times and I don't want none of that at this time ; am I wrong or is it another thing entirely?

It's kinda dark, but I don't think it's too dark. In my view, this is one of the few shows that lives up to its hype.

I started watching this (just finished episode 2) and absolutely love Legend Of Cleopatra! Anya Taylor-Joy is a fantastic actress.

Yep, she's one of the best and my favorite!

[SkarlettY]

I didn't even think that I liked this show so much. The actress just played this role gorgeous, I really liked it. And the main thing is that it is short and not too long!

[spiritboy]

Watched the first episode and i guess it's not my cup of tea, i couldn't wait for it to end.

[spiritboy]

Watched the whole thing and it was great.

I finished this series a few days ago - afraid to come into the thread for seeing a spoiler, but it was fantastic. I actually felt sad for about a day after that I was done returning to that world.
