Not serious, but take it! The series as a whole left a pleasant impression. It has the main element necessary for the series - bright, memorable characters. When there is someone to follow with interest, the rest is easier to forgive.
To be honest, there was a lot to forgive. From the fact that 'Toledo' - a work very far from history. Alfonso X is the real king, but in fact the infante Fernando was his eldest, early deceased son, and Sancho - the second, and just from Violanta of Aragon. However, Sancho did quarrel with his father, which even led to a change in the order of succession and open war (during which Alfonso did not hesitate to resort to the help of the Moors). The rival of the young man in the struggle for inheritance was not a brother, but a nephew, the son of the late Fernando. The authors of the series decided that it was too difficult for the audience, and ' revived ' brother, making him the youngest. There is nothing to say about the other characters - they are completely fictional.
But the creators tried to show the complex problem of coexistence of three religions in one city. The questions were serious... but the series was too simple and naive to handle. Therefore, patriots become unambiguous villains, and supporters of tolerance become heroes (although they sometimes have to bend their hearts). In general ' Toledo' in seriousness is approximately at the level ' Musketeers', although it claims to be more.
But it's beautiful, it's sunny, it easily becomes ' its own '. Therefore, he can be forgiven and unhistorical, and naivety, and protracted melodramatic scenes.
And for the actors who played negative characters (Miranda, Oliva, Sancho), I will follow. .
