Today is the start of Shrovetide, the days leading up to Ash Wednesday - traditionally a time for letting off steam with riotous games, feasting and carnival before the Lenten fast began.

Ok, some things became clearer in Ep 2, but I reviewed Ep 1 only, and it's still drab in every sense. And why do we still have strong women portrayed as 'evil/scheming' as if that's the only way they could 'match' the men? Time for that to change, imo.
