The cast is loaded with quality actors - especially McShane, who's worth the first two hours of your time alone.

Ian McShane is beautifully cast as a king who believes he's a monarch by divine right, but he's only a part of an amazing ensemble that includes Christopher Egan, Sebastian Stan, Susanna Thompson, and many more.
