This movie had virtually unlimited resources, but unfortunately this cannot make up for the low aim of the story, script and overall propagandist approach.
When released some already called it the Game of Thrones of Hungary, even before it had any reviews. This is typical of state run movie projects, but when I watched the first episode I was even more stunned by the idiocracy with which this movie tries to be everything, the best, the biggest, the most christian, the most hungarian etc. But fails at even the most basic standards.
It gives you the feeling of a socialist "live action documentary" in which you get short blocks of teachers (modern day experts) who add some historic review, making it even more silly and annoying, on top of the constant narration.
You can feel how the main purpose is to indoctrinate certain religious and political values, in the very distant shadow of well known series.
Cheap trick for a high price, paid largely by public funds.
