Knightfall

So what that the series is historically inaccurate. It's still entertaining to me. I loved Vikings and didnt know squat about their history. Point being,the writing is not the best but the acting is good. Put some quality writers with these actors,you'll have a top notch show. Knights Templar has always been a romantic story of men fighting for the good. So this woman looks at it from this angle.

It is However a very entertaining show loosely based on historical figures. Give it a whirl. I find it extremely entertaing and now that Mark Hamill has joined the cast I expect to be even more entertained.

Group of knights templar get involved in the schemes and politics of the French court, while also on the hunt for the holy grail. Kind of a mix between arthurian legend and the 3 musketeers, nothing particularly original so far, I've seen up to ep 8 season 1, but it's been entertaining and I will keep on watching, however for a show made by the history channel I wish the makers put much more effort in to make it historically accurate, as its portrayal is very factually inaccurate.

Very good show. Not sure why critics don't like it. The action is top notch, has high production values and a good plot to boot. Give it a chance and you might be surprised

In 1291 Acre, the Templar Knights lose their last foothold in the Holy Lands and the Holy Grail sinks to the bottom of the sea. Fifteen years later in Paris, Brother Landry is a close confident to King Philip and Queen Joan of France. Isabella is their desirable daughter and William De Nogaret is their villainous advisor. Landry argues for a retaking of the Holy Lands. Master Godfrey is killed leaving a clue to the Grail. Pope Boniface VIII makes Landry the new Temple Master as the quest for the Grail begins.

It's a clunky mix of history and melodrama. Tom Cullen has the beard and the quiet intensity. I'm not sold on his leading man credentials. The writing is too muddled. For much of the show, the hero is tilting at windmills. The opposition is so powerful that the premise seems hopeless. That's not a fun place to live and this is not actually a fun show. While it has its moments, this show is too uneven to maintain any momentum. Like everybody else, History Channel tried its hand at scripted drama. With all the other streaming services, I'm sure that this got lost in the shuffle.
