The series gathered a high-profile cast, most notably Sean Bean, whose earlier work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy added considerable star power.

Critics responded favorably, awarding the show a 77 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences mirrored that enthusiasm with an 80 percent score.
