If you are not a fan of Shakespeare then this is a big no as far as my recommendation goes. This show is set in modern times, however, everyone speaks in Shakespearean English. Joss Whedon tried the same thing in 2013 with his movie 'Much Ado About Nothing' (based off the Shakespeare play). If that movie didn't work for you, then this show definitely won't. For many, it will be odd to see modern day situations spoken in Shakespearean English. For others, even hearing Shakespearean English in classic Shakespeare is weird.
If you do like Shakespeare though, this show will definitely be up your alley. The cast is completely stacked, including Emma Thompson, Emily Watson, and Anthony Hopkins as the titular King Lear. It feels like the role that Anthony Hopkins was born to play.
