Wobbly writing early on but a great cast keeps it going until the writing catches up a couple episodes in and the show becomes superb. Zosia Mamet has never been better, Tony Hale is electric in showcasing a much wider range than he usually gets, and each supporting character threatens to steal their scene.
There’s a few extremely tiresome plot points early on, but this is a show about the upheaval caused by the Black Death - things change pretty quickly.
