Maeve is the heroine of the piece and yet the lens seemed imbued with patriarchy and oppression of women, with women relegated largely to the roles of witches, seers and feisty trouble maker. The Jeshua character was also a bit too biblical and Yaweh-fearing to be believable.

The modern day American lens was all too obvious and there were many obvious misinterpretations of the Celts and ancient Druidry. Reasonably well narrated (except for hopeless Welsh accents and pronunciation of Welsh words) story that had promise, but was ultimately disappointing. ![]() ![]() Unconvincing perspective through a modern day lens ![]()
