Such a frustrating disappointment

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I found the start of this series a bit slow and confusing but it all starts falling into place and making sense mid season and gets really interesting. I'm not sure why people are trying to review it against game of thrones because Britannia is nothing like game of thrones. Bit of a mix between history and fantasy which makes an interesting storyline, they ended the season well and I hope they pick up from that interesting storyline in season 2.

I feel compelled to write a review to help counter all of the foolish reviews of this series. I began episode one by agreeing with all of the people upset with the a-historicity of the show. Fortunately, they put it right up front so that you don't waste too much time worrying that they're historically illiterate and, unless you are the title of a Jethro Tull song, you soon realize that they are just using setting and character types to shorthand a fantasy story with some familiarity so that the writers don't have to waste a lot of time building up their fantasy world.The key to this series, as it is for all entertainment are the characters and the human interaction. The characters, once you take time to notice them are excellent and the acting is wonderful overall. It is a rollicking good story and I hope there will be a season two and more because I'm eagerly awaiting it. Refer to "basilisksamuk" for anything else I might want to say about this except that the interactions between Nikolaj Lie Kass and Eleanor Worthington-Cox make it all worthwhile. Just good fun.

As soon as I saw Zoe Wanamaker's name I realized that all was not as it seemed.
Britannia is an amusing take on history and has no pretensions of accuracy or any high falutin artistic aims.
I am finding it quite enjoyable and I cannot understand why so many reviewers are getting so bent out of shape about what they see as flaws in the series.

This is, by far the biggest load of tosh I have seen in a very long time. Far too involved in Celtic and Druid ceremony which, unless you are an expert, is very difficult to follow as well as some of the characters parts.
