Whilst it wasn't totally dreadful, it certainly isn't the fantasy genre's answer to what Red Dwarf did for the comedy sci-fi genre.
I had no belly laughs, and only a few knowing smirks were dragged from me. The only character i thought was quite interesting and worked well as the straight man for the over-the-top Matt Lucus, was the valet - Barnabas? Some pretty good mugging from that actor.
I'll probably only give it one more chance, next week. However, i also seem to remember that even the mighty Red Dwarf didn't become required watching for me until well into the second series.
It was utter dogshit.

I thought it was pretty bad, too. Just not funny.
