This series was born at the time when Hungary was trying to rebuild its upper social class by capitalizing it with EU funds and bringing back elements of the monarchy. The relation to the original story ends here. Directed by a person who had no experience in movie/film making with close to unlimited budget and time the expectations were high.
The result is a really hard to watch series with a lot of unnecessary dialogs and scenes. The viewer often feels stupid, in some places there are references that aren't clear what they have to do with the plot. With all the respect but the actors are playing like they aren't even in this series. There is an awful lot of poorly written fictional content, which gives the key message a completely different meaning. Chaotic, incomprehensible, busywork.
The photography is good quality, sound/music is just boring.
