Knightfall

I am mostly easy or forgiving when is comes to historic series, especially when they are done with care for scenery, dialogues and eye for detail of sets. The very first half hour of the pilot I got bored with religion, Christian or Jewish, and the simple mindedness about good and evil. throw in bad camera work and not very good (or bad) acting and what I was left with was disappointment. Not getting that feel of a good knight series which should be out there alongside the current viking and cowboy and other fantasy more-or-less-based-on-reality series.

At tones it can be monotonously slow but when it clicks into gear it can really work the best evidence of this was in the second half of season 2 and the season 1 finale. The rest of the time it varies between average and good but could work on it's overall pacing. There is a lot worse out there and I personally overall enjoyed it and hope to see a 3rd season as it appears to be improving and learning from past mistakes as the cast grow into their roles with experience.

Another review talks about how it is not history and more so entertainment, I fully agree with this statement.

Furthermore, there has been some political manipulation with regard to the Catalan independence movement. They talk about Catalan princes, queens, and monarchy which is completely wrong. Catalonia was a county under the rule of the Kingdom of Aragon.

Some people are trying to change history, do not really understand their purpose, it must be greed. With politics comes a lot of money (corruption), and the general public are being incorrectly informed through history TV shows that are not always correct.

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.

Yes, it is predictable if you overthink it while watching instead of enjoying the experience. So if you start watching it with the intention of wanting to think of it as bad like some people here seem to do you wont enjoy it.

If you however start watching it without prejudices you'll enjoy a great and well acted show with beautiful detailed costumes and settings that feel like they're straight of of the time itself.
