anyone watching this?
It's a show about the creation, fall and dismantling (persecution) of the Knights Templar.
I've always been a fan of period pieces from this era or genre and I belong to a civic/fraternal organization related to this topic, so I knew I'd be interested.
Clearly fiction, but historical fiction so it's more interesting IMO.
I liked the first two episodes.
plus being on right after Vikings doesn't hurt.
Anyone else watching?
Knightfall is on at 10PM on Wednesdays, right after Vikings.
Vikings is better in that regard.
It's a major pitfall in history pieces:
"Oh, Jeeves, you mean your defending the future of the Western world and have to pass the shiny amulet to the hot blond girl from the market or we are all doomed for eternity?"
"Why yes, jebbus, thank you for asking, how's the side plot about your three legged maybe its yours baby maybe its not going?"
But much more subtle than say, the fall of Jerusalem scene in knightfall where an actual Grail falls into the sea. That whole first episode was filled with dialog exposition. People don't really talk that way.

well I'm not sure there is a lot of recorded dialog from the 1300's. everyone can't go around saying "dilly dilly".
Plus it's historical fiction, not a drama, I view it for entertainment, not as critical of an eye for reality.
