Well again, it's the best offering on the subject matter I can think of drama wise and I enjoyed it very much in spite of the flaws - becasue as I see it the flaws in such productions are getting fewer than all those horrid sword and sandal so-called epics of the past.
I have to say I do have a problem - and it's my problem - I notice things. I can't help it and I wish I wasn't like it becasue I tend to dispel my own willing suspension of disbelief. There was this moment when Fulkwin is in the forest at night on his lonesome an his built himself a considerable fire. Except it wasn't really a fire, was it? It was an arrangement of sticks over some sort of flaming gas burner which had no coal beds and produced no smoke - I mean none of the wood in it was actually alight!
I also can't help looking at what extras are up to and gosh and golly did these extras require some proper direction or what. There was this one scene where I started giggling becasue this bloke was tickling some random pile of dung/straw/grass (some midden) with a hay fork with no genuine meaning or intent. I mean, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Funny.
Technically, my only gripe is the insistence in all of these programmes and movies of lead actors refusing to grow a proper bloody beard. How it it that they keep that week's growth look so permanently? Have you noticed, the more prominent the male lead role is the less likely it is that they sport the proper beard?
Anyway, still better than anything else offered in the last 20 years on Roman stuff for TV ... pretty sure.
