TV show description:
This TV series is a gritty and bloodthirsty medieval drama set in 14th century Wales during a time of English rule. Creator Kurt Sutter draws heavily from history. With the country suffering from the legacy of the black death and the Crusades, daily life is a ritual of violence and poverty.
The ruthless and ambitious Milus Corbett (Stephen Moyer) is a courtier appointed by the crown to govern the region. Mercilessly taxing the communities as he seeks to gain favor, he employs Baron Ventris (Brian F. O’Byrne) to terrorize as he sees fit.
Central character Wilkin Brattle (Lee Jones) was a Knight during King Edward the First’s reign, where the monarch battled successfully against a French and Scottish alliance. Brattle is a deeply spiritual man; drawing on his religious beliefs he wants only to settle down with Petra (Elen Rhys) and live the peaceful life of a farmer. He vows not to take up his sword again.
Leaving the horrors of the battlefield behind proves fruitless as violence catches up with him once more. Annora of the Alders (Katy Sagal) a mystic healer, assumed by some to be a witch, guides Brattle on his brutal journey of redemption.
Episode #10 — Blood and Quiescence / Crau a Chwsg
Wilkin and Milus lead an unlikely band of brothers on a life-threatening rescue mission.
First aired: November 17, 2015.
I liked it…Although a bit violent, it’s no worse than some other cable series… or even AHS as far as I’m concerned. I’d LOVE to see it come back, and give it another season….Advertising wasn’t so good, because hardly anyone knew what I was talking about if I asked if they watched. Bad nove….guess I’m gonna be looking to fill an hour on something else? Hope its at least as good and edgy
Very good show though a bit graffically bloody. Please bring it back.
Please bring back loved it
Loved this series very, very disappointed. Getting tired of even watching these, they cancell too much
Loved this show, good casting, historical accuracy, excellent scene settings – was really looking forward to a next season – please reconsider and give this sow another chance!
My girl friend told me about Basta rd Executioner a bit late after the season ended and so my watching it did not count in the ratings. She knows I like Game of Thrones so she thought I would like Bastar d Executioner and she is right. Lee Jones is so hot! After episode 4 I was hooked. I ended up watching the rest of the season in 2 days, but then when I went to watch it again it was DELETED from my DirecTV recordings. Then I read online that season 2 is Cancelled because of low ratings but… Read more »
I loved this show and I am very disappointed that it is cancelled. Cant someone please reconsider? I loved the chemistry between Lady Love and Wilken! Please bring it back! You didn’t even give it a chance. This is why I hate watching new shows. You get us hooked and then take it away.
Sad. Really liked this show, was looking forward to season 2. It was a nice change from the mindless dribble that constitutes other “simplistic” series that are renewed season after season. I enjoy a show that makes you use your brain. Apparently I am in the minority. Hopefully someone else will pick up it up.
love this show, don’t cancel it.you ended it with way too many questions. i want to know what happens with lady love, and who is Wilkin?
why do they always get us interested then turn around and cancel it so we never know what te out come of the series is it should not be allowed they should bring it back
I love this show…was looking forward to season 2….please renew this show
This show rocked! Episode #1 was dirt slow but after that it was the best view on TV. Get your head out of your Butt FX!
This is a wonderful show. Can’t believe the “powers that are” chose to cancel this series. Listen to the fans! And, please bring it back.
don’t they listen to the fans ? This show is great and they really left you hanging & then cancel ? What a mean thing to do to us !
Kurt Sutter…say it isn’t so!!! Love this show! Even did a marathon over the weekend and watched all the episodes again. Come on FX…maybe change the day and time slot…but don’t cancel!!!
