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.
Yes I did . I loved ******* executioner. Bring it back. I’m dedicated. Problem with any show is people are using dvr almost every show, so they can watch it over and over and without interruptions. Some like binge watching, it’s all about the commercials. Why watch it with when you can watch it without. Every show is on my dvr also sometimes you just can’t watch because it comes on late, ect. Take this into account of ratings aren’t accurate because of dvrs…
It never fails to amaze me — I find something that I like & actually start to enjoy the various characters & they kill it!! Thankfully, Vikings & Hell On Wheels lasted as long as they have! We LOVE historical fiction & there seems to little of it to keep us satisfied!
I cannot imagine what the TV execs are thinking. I hope someone will pick it up and give it a better. I first watched it while flipping and loved it. So historical, so sexy, a little violent but it’s on late. My husband who is not really a TV person and I went back to first episode and never missed another. Please pick up someone.
This was a GREAT show.Really!!! I can’t imagine what tv execs are thinking. BUT, I can tell that they don’t watch television. Please help. Get it back soon. I’m thinking , besides the BBC and BBC America we need a channel for these type shows or a cancelled channel….. The ******* Executioner, Beowulf, Merlin, The Seeker, Second Chance, Human Target. October Road, Alphas, ….
I absolutely loved this show! What a story line with other subplots entwined. The music was superb thanks to Ed Sheeran who also was not mentioned though he was in three episodes.It was a little tough and funny watching Ed torture someone. HE wrote and sang the show’s major theme song. It was so haunting and beautiful each and every episode I listened to the music instead of fast forwarding to the beginning of the show. Also accurate portrayal of history – we never heard or seen much of Wales in movies – always England and Ireland. I’m Welsh and… Read more »
Why do u listen to snobby critics and not real America that watches & likes these shows? Why do the critics get to decide what stays on televison and what doesnt?? They just “assume” we wont like it so they give it a thumbs down. Ask real ppl like me! So unfair >:(
PLEASE BRING IT BACK, It was so good!!!
Excellent show! Beyond disappointed by the cancellation, which I think is a HUGE mistake. Kurt Sutter is a master storyteller, so intelligent and talented. Giving us only one season of Kurt Sutter’s story/show amounts to ending Dickens “A Tale of Two Cities” with “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” All that could have been…I for one, would love to see Sutter complete and publish this story. Granted, we would miss the actors, sets, and music that together so greatly enhance the experience, but as long as we have his story (book), and a little… Read more »
I so agree this show is amazing.
keep it
It’s a summer show and off season. You need to give it an opportunity for fans to find it. what we don’t need is to turn the channel and only find the same thing. Honestly why keep getting rid of thinking women’s programming? This one is really a keeper.
I think it should have been renewed and FX should be ashamed! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
So much better than Game of Thrones!❤! Please don’t cancel it And I’m sure all the other fans wants to see who killed the executioners pregnant wife! It was either Katy Segals character or the man who I guess is her *brother* PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!
Great show, better than Game of Thrones, please bring it back
Why would they cancel something so great the must not of watched it for themselfs idiots they should of renewed it for sure.
Aw man Real bummer. Sucks big time not continuing series !!!!
