Britannia

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised when I started watching this TV series and I liked it from the very beginning.

And then, what has been happening lately with TV series has started to happen here as well, and that is that the production, after the initial success, thinks how it found a milking cow and then instead of finishing the series in a normal and meaningful way, procrastination and dilution starts, in order to film as many seasons as possible and earn as much money as possible.

This, of course, resulted in the fact that each following season is weaker than the previous one, and that the action stretches unnecessarily indefinitely, and in essence, nothing important happens in the complete third season.

This is a classic example of how to ruin a good and interesting idea, as happened with the TV series Money Heist, for example.

So my rating of this TV series dropped from a strong 9 to a modest 7.

Britannia is a fantasy historical show that takes place in A. D. 43 and follows the Roman Imperial Army who are determined to take over Britannia, who are ruled by some warrior women and the creepy Druids who can channel the forces of the underworld. I'm a fan of history and fantasy shows so I thought I'd give Britannia a chance. Im glad I did because it's a pretty decent show. Most of the negative reviews are saying that it's not historically accurate...who cares? It's not a documentary. Is it one of the best shows ever? No. But it's absolutely worth watching if your a fan of shows that have fantasy, history, action, drama, etc.

In 43 AD, the Roman Army returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia.

If you're looking for an event-accurate historical drama to binge, "Britannia" is probably not the series for you. But if you're down for a feminist-leaning "Game of Thrones" with a psychedelic Sixties vibe that's also loosely based on the 43AD Roman invasion of Britannia, then this might be your new favorite show.

Just the right mixture of historical fiction, action adventure, and irreverent dark humor. Don't worry about historical accuracy. Just sit back and enjoy a creative and unique show!

If you want to see a documentary when you watch a television series, then by all means listen to the people who complain about the lack of historical accuracy.

If you on the other hand just want to have a good time with a fictional series based loosely on history, then by all means watch it! It is weird and violent, with many interesting characters and some good ol' action too.
