The guy is definitely stupid, if he needed a near-death experience to realize, that killing knights was pointless. The series is weird, to be honest. The rules are too loose, there seems to be more talking, than actual fighting... It manages to be barely enough stylish points to be tolerable. I do understand, that essentially all 1st season was like a prologue, so I will, probably, give 2nd season a chance, but I will be expecting more from it.00
