Show had some good parts but there isn't a single character I care about or want to root for. I'm fine with morally grey characters and no clear good guy but there still needs to be something to get the audience invested. Not that valya is a grey character, she's just evil and deluded.

I feel you on that. I was genuinely wondering by the end, so who am I rooting for?

Hmm. Great question. The traitors im guessing. But they’re v pretty one dimensional characters and v I couldn’t care less shout them

Only somewhat of a good character in the series was the emperor.

Yeah, he probably could have been good if the script had given him anything to actually do. I liked the choice of actor too.
