The Halcyon (2017)
6/10
First three episodes were very very good - 4th one was kinda wishy washy

Interesting characters, good premise but this latest episode seemed to be pulled off centre. Secondary and temporary/guest characters have started to distract me from main plot arc. There has only been 2 directors so far and there is a third untried director next week.

I'm starting to feel that it might become more of a soap than a historical drama. I would prefer more history to histrionics. I can sense something wrong with some of the cast. Can't put my finger on it at this time. Maybe a power struggle in the writers room.

I noticed that the shows creator, Charlotte Jones, had sole writing credit in all the other episodes and that she was second billing in this 4th episode, that could say a lot.
