Britannia

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!

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!

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.

This show is about the Romans invasion of Britain with some sorcery, gods, and devils mixed in. The first time I watched it which was over 2 and a half year ago I remembered liking it well enough, but I watched again and I feel like I actually liked it more this time around. The first episode is slow and you're kind of like wtf by the end, but if you continue it explains and things make sense. Most of these actors and actresses I'm not familiar with except for Kelly Reilly, and David Morrissey who are great as always, but The Outcast and Cait are the two that makes this show really shine. Now when these two are on the screen together is when it's really unforgettable. They play off each other and the banter is really great stuff that at times I'm feeling sorry for how The Outcast talks to her and the next I'm laughing at her being over his crap and then snapping on him. The acting is very good, the story is wild, and really everything that went into making this is well done. It feels and looks like a big budget production. This isn't GoT or The Last Kingdom so don't expect that at all, but it is a good show for fans of that type of genre. I'm excited for season two.
