I loved the original novel which isn't a white saviour story - it's a stranger in a strange land story, where that stranger becomes a pawn. I like that they started him as an arrogant Protestant bigot.
The opening ep had some women having sex and a man being boiled alive in a pot noisily so that's the Game of Thrones territory. There's not a lot of it in the series. There is a lot of chat in darkened rooms and plotting. The violence is well handled. It did get a little less gripping as it went along.
