I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews, though, so maybe it is supposed to be taken seriously and I’m the only one laughing at seeing a man pray to the virgin Mary for the souls of the people who he just killed with a sheet of gold leaf.

I can't remember whether or not this is the one that got seriously into the opium trade towards the end or whether I'm confusing it with some other semi-historical series set in around that time period, but yeah, I think it was intended to be more serious despite some of the loopier aspects.
