Great show but don't buy season 4 until they sort out the missing final episode. Obviously theres an issue and Google should be contacting Starz about the missing episode instead of telling me they get them when they are released. Why would a network release an entire season at once except the final episode.

Great acting with an original story line based on actual historical figures. Had me hook line and sinker after the very first episode. I can't wait for season 3!!
