I was tempted to put this as folklore. Maybe it should be but what the heck!
Anyone seen it yet? Lots of Irish folklore mixed with fantasy set in an alternate reality. Some flaws but all in all full of good ideas. Well acted, filmed and produced. In my opinion anyway. Orlando Bloom plays a very good part.
Lots of political analogies to be had with the Fae becoming ensnared in a war between different human factions. Then being vilified and made scapegoats in the city they settled in after being made refugees by the warring factions. Quite chilling.
I hope it develops into another series.
