Synopsis

A blood-soaked, medieval epic that tells the story of Wilkin Brattle, a 14th century warrior, whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of another man: a journeyman executioner. Set in northern Wales during a time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while also serving a mysterious destiny. Guided by Annora, a mystical healer whose seeming omniscience keeps Wilkin under her sway; manipulated by Milus Corbett, a devious Chamberlain with grand political aspirations; and driven by a deepening connection with the Baroness Lady Love, Wilkin struggles to navigate political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to understand his greater purpose.

keelhaul-80856 I was excited to hear about this show when it first came out. A buddy of mine said he couldn't put his finger on it, but the show just didn't do much for him. Well, here I am, finally checking it out online. I love medieval and ancient epics, and history in general, and I figured I would be more likely to enjoy this show than my friend.Well...the first 15 mins. or so of the pilot had me like, WTF??? Kurt Sutter is talented, but I wonder if this will be something he can pull off successfully.The first 15 mins.= A guy is in a dream or supernatural moment on a battlefield, being told he is going to live another life by some (Indian?)(angel?) girl. The intro. music is so soft and boring and forgettable, that it bewildered me as to why they used it for such a dark and threatening period.Then, I recognize that Sutter has cast his gf or wife, Katy Sagel, as an old witch Slavic woman or something??? LOL. I love some Katy Sagel, but this part is just ridiculous, and the casting for her and other character feels cheaply done. I guess Kurt just wanted to throw her in somewhere, with a more serious role besides her usual bad ass Milf role, and she wanted to play a witch lady with an accent and gray hair??? Then, the lord of the land is straining to take a s%%t while some servant dude wipes his butt??? These scenes just seem idiotic to me, as if to say, we want to be gritty and crude, for the sake of doing so. It was contrived and stupid in my opinion, and I don't shy away from gore and vulgarity-- trust me.Everything in this piece looks like a Renaissance fair getaway with your nerdy friends from work for the weekend. To my chagrin, it lacks authenticity in many ways, and none of the female characters are very charming or attractive, either. If you are going to have handsome guys, magical reincarnations, dreams, people taking dumps while talking to their workers, etc. can't we have some eye candy as well? The whole thing feels disjointed to me, and very rehashed and stale. Nothing was amazingly fresh or exciting, and they seem to be going through the motions, instead of drawing you into the period of 1300s Wales, and a unique story worth telling. I love this genre, but if it fails to even interest me thus far, I imagine a bleak future for the show with larger audiences.Granted, I didn't even finish the pilot(I went to bed with a few mins. left to go), and I am still going to give this a chance. It isn't terrible, but there is too much cheese and nepotism and mediocrity in the first episode. I am going to expect a lot more in the next couple of installments, or I think this bastard will be executed prematurely...
deboraey This is one of the worst things i ever saw on TV! Pure garbage, yes a turd.Horrible acting, terrible and predictable scenario and an utterly bad and even ridiculous cast (Katey Sagal of all people . . and she is just terrible!). The story is so lame . . who wrote this junk???The show also displays extreme amounts of violence, gore, sex and abuse and extreme cruelness in a way that one gets disgusted to a point where one simply has to turn off the program . . so i only saw 3 episodes. Avoid at all cost! Watch VIKINGS, ore THE LAST KINGDOM or other real good time-pieces; but don't waste your time on this turd.
geoffreywealthy garbage ,,was so looking forward to watching this ,it turned out to be one of the worst TV shows ever ,,the acting was so bad ,maybe it was just miscast ,the costumes could have been thrown together from a B movie ,the story line was nonsense ,,this will set back Kurt Sutter , Katy Segals awful the terrible script did not help her ,,the main character was just so wooden a plank of wood could have done a better job,it is no wonder this show has been cancelled ,I was a great fan of sons of anarchy ,and I thought the same kind of professional script and acting would be the same in this show but it was so disappointing come on Kurt Sutter your much better than this drivel ,,at least give us a cast that can act and a storyline that grips .
Kirpianuscus part of a fashion, piece from the fascination of Medieval Period, it seems, at first sigh, common and gray. in essence, it is only a good job and only seen could be the script who not gives nothing original to a story who is not Games of Trones or Ivanhoe. the magic, the destiny, the mysteries, the justice. all at the right place. correct performances. right atmosphere. and a sort of grace who preserves the nuances. the first season of a series could be only a promise. this case is not different. and the promise, in this case, is not real bad. only ambiguous. a film who use old images from a seductive time. the result is interesting. because it remands more than gives new perspectives. but that remember has its splendid nuances revealed. and that is the big point.
