Years ago, I watched the first series, I was not impressed, too violent and too many full frontal ladies. However, my son kept saying 'watch Series 2 and 3, you'll love it'. Well I did And do love it.
Not only the cinematography, special effects (particularly, love those dragons), but the editing and particularly the script, it is superior. The Main actors are without doubt, experienced and brilliantly cast. Peter particularly is outstanding, and commands his scenes. That sounds unfair to the others but they all hold their own so well, and equally.
The collection of true historical events, closely resembles the Borgias of Rome, when Italy was divided by provinces and war like. And to a point the War of the Roses, that ended with Henry Vll, and the start of the Tudor line. I like the way the actors from 'The North' usually have English North of England accents.
As a student of film studies at university level, I find it hard to fault the series, unless you realize that the Dark Ages and medieval period was as violent and unscrupulous as it is presented don't watch it. Mind you the 'R' rating should warn you, this is not a series for youngsters.
Well done all those involved in this production I hope the final series leaves us satisfied with he outcome.
