0kay I recently finished the series,I think its a gem.

Closer to the darkness/intrigue of Game of thrones than BBCs Merlin(which is cute in a teen, Arthurian Smallville kind of way)

But I didn't want to discuss the merits of the series(which you should all watch btw)but the fact on how it reminded me conceptually of Desolation.

The Greek-Roman/Celtic designs in clothing and weaponry, the ruins and the general art direction ..
as well as the fact that magic has a price-close to burn in a way- but I don't want to say more in fear of spoilers.

Other people who ve seen it here? Do you agree with me?

Keep Desolation alive, see ya

I haven't seen it. I have heard mixed reviews about it, but not much at all recently.
