Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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...

tony-40810 Was so much looking forward to watching this executioner to find it very disappointing.The opening seen had a lot to be desired Acting not that great, Fighting seen rubbish and as for the story line needs more not quit sure what to think.There is no big name actors. Effects poor. I have only watched the first episode hopefully it will improve.I was hoping it would have been good as the Vikings, Outlander and Spartacus. Not big names however they had you gripped for the very first episode.If the episodes don't improve i don't think i would look forward to a second season. So let hope it can be all addressed so we can enjoy a very much Executioner

Pablo Ernesto Vigneaux Wilton It's a good TV show! But you must remember is that the medieval era where torture and wars were commonplace ... You not need agree with this! I'm not, but it's a TV show and reports about past time. For me it's good! -The song is good! -The costumes are good! -The religion question is real, the conflict between different religions and internally to Catholic church about texts not included into Bible... -Have a love history! -Power dispute... Well, maybe the history is not refined, but is OK! The torture instruments are real. The intrigues are possibles to accept inside a medieval king and maybe inside a actual government.

Leo Pignon I really have no idea why some people are giving this show such bad reviews. The pilot just sets it up, the real story comes after. I find the writing to be interesting, the acting convincing and the settings believable, with special notice to the fighting scenes which feel brutal and real, not rehearsed. Unlike so many other shows in this genre, people actually look, sound and act like they belong there. Forget Gilette shaves and modern makeup - these people have yellow teeth and bad manners. It feels dirty, gritty and realistic. The story lines of the characters intertwine nicely and I find myself caring and understanding the motivations of each character - a rare treat. Don't listen to the haters and most definitely don't stop at the pilot, this show has more to offer.
