The Bastard Executioner

6.2 | TV-MA | en | Drama

A blood-soaked, medieval epic that tells the story of Wilkin Brattle, a 14th century warrior, whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of another man: a journeyman executioner. Set in northern Wales during a time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while also serving a mysterious destiny. Guided by Annora, a mystical healer whose seeming omniscience keeps Wilkin under her sway; manipulated by Milus Corbett, a devious Chamberlain with grand political aspirations; and driven by a deepening connection with the Baroness Lady Love, Wilkin struggles to navigate political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to understand his greater purpose.

kbohna Okay so so far it doesn't have the highest rating but it actually is very decent it's well done if you're familiar with the Creator he also made Sons of Anarchy which was a decent shows give it a chance if you can make it through the pilot which is 2 part I am sure you will enjoy it it gets better and better one thing I will say is that there's some neat things about the series that I have not yet scene why they occur something this magical maybe and some things to do with it's almost like there is a second story and it has to do with the Bible and stuff like that so I'm not quite sure what it's all going to lead up to but it definitely has my imagination wondering give it a chance and I'm sure you will enjoy it
arbantennas This show rocks, i watched it twice as i didn't pay attention at first but the story is solid, the violence is realistic and a plenty, Awesome bad ass characters that i ended up feeling there pain etc. People have rated this far to harshly. Season 2 has been cancelled which is bullshit. Watch it as it finishes of nicely to end it before it reached it's potential. What a shame If u like this and want something similar but way bigger in every way, give Da Vinci's Demons a look see with 3 seasons ending another great show. Back to the Bastard Executioner please do not listen to the haters as this show is awesome & could have been massive-er Only downfall was besides Katie Segals bum there is pretty much no nudity which we love in this kind of a show, ( like Spartacus - Game of Thrones etc ) we like some rude bits to go with our violence, well i do...Anyway i say bring this show back ...
Clifford Nelson I find it funny that all of a sudden people expect originality. Even SOA was not particularly new, there are plenty of motorcycle gang movies around. Very few shows are truly original. However, it is different from almost everything else on TV. Yes there are a few movies, but almost all other shows are pretty much the same as some other show on TV. This one is a bit different, and cannot say there is anything that is particularly close that has ever been a TV show. Yes there is Vikings, and Robin Hood, and if you go to movies there is Braveheart, and Rob Roy. If this were a modern era show, I do not think anybody would say it is a knock off. Also, expecting accuracy when not even the modern police shows are accurate. Very little that is created for entertainment is accurate. Vikings, and Outlander are also not particularly accurate. Just admit the show is not to your taste. I do not like the GOdfather, but I will not call it a bad film. Oh there are a few hokey parts, but can say that about practically any show. Still I did enjoy the show, and wish it would be renewed. M
mandykrueg This is my 1st review, but I felt that I needed to let y'all know that The Bastard Executioner is absolutely WORTH getting lost in Sutter's new World. It took me, maybe, 1 to 2 episodes before I understood what exact story was trying to be told; and it is absolutely incredible. GIVE IT A CHANCE!! If you still disagree past episode 3, I'll give you a pass. Don't over think the language and get lost in all the accents, they become fluid and even beautiful as you go on. You fond yourself carrying for the unlikely hero and if you are a fan of the medieval, knights, Kings and the everyday goings on of this World, this show IS for you. Trust me... GIVE IT A CHANCE!!
