Though plot and progression is difficult to follow... screw it! It's a good show!! The characters are, I'm assuming, based of historical events and characters which can easily confuse. This shouldn't be counted as negative because it shows that thought went into the writing. The main problem for me was the connection with the lead character. They should have gone fore a 24 episode structure and given a little more time to flesh out the characters and give a bit more back story. Other than that it was overall a confusing yet enjoyable show.
