It's a historical style fantasy without wizards or elves or anything twee. Intrigue, deception, power struggles and good men caught up in it. Also a touch of the supernatural.The costumes and sets look stunning.
I saw someone else also picked up some similarity with Edward IV and the Woodville family. Some of the back mythology is very similar to the mythical invasions of Ireland by different peoples.
