The Bastard Executioner

Thought there was a thread? Anyhow, newer show on FX from the creator of Sons of Anarchy.

Watched the first three; it's god awful. I mean god awful, the plot, the acting, action scenes, all garbage and true to Sutter, there's male-on-male buttsex early in, it's like the man can't help himself.

i knew it was going to be awful when they tried selling it as another game of thrones.

but if robtard says it's bad it must be the most rancid crap sandwich ever.

Oh you

Try being Scottish and watching it. The main guy was a soldier in Edward Longshanks army. ****ing prick. Haha 😂

So is the Executioner a Bastard or is it his job to kill Bastards?

I only caught 15 min of on episode and yes.....It was god awful.

Spoiler:
He was a knight for Longshanks, and the local baron as well as Bill Compton left him and his friends to die. Only an angel made him survive? I dunno. Anyway, he killed the actual executioner and is now masquerading as him. Only Bill, Wilkin's friends, and the Executioner's wife and kid know he's not the real one.

....and someone at Fox actually greenlighted this for a SERIES!?

When you get a show with as many seasons as SoA, they'll green light pretty much anything.

Have to say I have been disappointed by this so far. I actually enjoyed SoA, so had high hopes, but this has been shit. I am not normally one to binge watch things, but I can't even manage a single episode of this show in one sitting. It has basically taken me the entire time the first three episodes have been out to actually push through them, in the hopes that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and that it isn't then just some bizarre glowy-dead-person blocking the exit.

He says he's sorry.

It's better than being black, though.

Watched the first episode, was garbage.

The sets looked terrible and phony. Crappy pacing, shit characters. Crap.

This is one of the worst shows I have ever seen, tbh. Nothing about it is even remotely watchable. 👇

Man, that sucks. I just heard that there was a medieval show that came out and was all excited and shit. I love Game of Thrones and Vikings, are there any other shows that have a medieval or fantasy setting that are worth watching?

Outlander

Awesome, thanks! 🙂

The Outlander is Braveheart worthy without the big battles. It's an excellent show.

The Bastard Executioner sucks balls, it's that terrible.

Almost Braveheart worthy*
