The show was shit though, they didn't have the rights to all the source materials and the part they did have they didn't understand. Then the execution was piss poor, with a shitty predictable story, terrible writing, awful set and costume design (due to a lacking budget, I'm sure the people involved were very talented and did the best they could) and mediocre acting. Plus way over the top poorly done cgi.
There's plenty of online info about all the reasons it sucks ass, so I won't reiterate here.
One thing that stuck in my mind was this actual piece of dialog: "Do you know why a ship floats and a stone cannot? Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast and irresistible. The ship feels the darkness, as well, striving moment by moment to master her and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For, unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward but up. Fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than darkness ever knew."
This is spoken by not only an ocean-faring people, but by persons that actually have actively navigated the open sea. Like I hope you have that buoyancy thing figured out my dudes, or you're gonna have a bad time. Absolute drivel that doesn't even make sense in the context of the show.
