Britannia

If you have pedantic tendencies or know anything about the ancient history of Britain, give this one the body swerve. If, however, you enjoy a bit of daft humourous writing with a big dollop of fun ( the Romans zonking out on discarded herbs is particularly amusing) combined with a grand amount of blood and a smidgen of gore, then you'll enjoy it. The only complaint I might have is that the main actresses just looks like she's about 12 all the way through. I feel an aged up actress in the latter stages would have worked better. Some great characters and fantastic scenery are on view. Mackenzie cook is immense in the role of the chief druid, all bones and weirdness and looks frighteningly skinny throughout. But he is magnificent in the role.

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.

I enjoyed Britannia quite a bit more than I thought I would. I don't understand some of the bad reviews. It's not a documentary and doesn't claim to be a true story. It's just a fun fantasy type show that keeps your attention throughout the series. Again, I like it and looking forward to more seasons!

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!
