-linear storyline and at times I was lost as to which timeline I was in. But it was soon figured out and it paid off well in the final episode. The set designs and costumes are fantastic and helps immerse you into the period.

This is a very enjoyable way to spend 6 hours - Watch it if you would like to see a different part of history, or if you like spending time with the always engrossing Eva Green.
