I mean… it didn’t? Not sure where you’re getting that from.

From watching it? I mean, I watched it the once back in March but I commented on it then in the thread about the show:

@Jophiel

Some friends I play a weekly game with recommended it so I tried it out. It was entertaining as generic fantasy fare; didn’t really feel “D&D” aside from being able to say “That’s a druid, that’s a barbarian, etc” and trying to think of it as a D&D show just made me think frustrating things like “You also have a ranger and a bard, how does no one have a Cure Wounds?” More of a “vaguely inspired by a D&D campaign” series.

I remember it being enjoyable enough as a fantasy adventure show but not pinging as “D&D” except because I knew about the source material. That said, I don’t remember it now well enough to bother with examples and you don’t know 5e so I don’t see this being a real fruitful point of debate.
