The Bastard Executioner

**Hatedregret** · 2015-09-16 12:09

Surprised there's no thread. Feel free to change as needed.

It's a series by Kurt Sutter who did Sons of Anarchy. Just premiered last night. I have it waiting to watch.

**Zetanio** · 2015-09-16 12:10

I was making a thread about this.

Watched the first half. Pretty decent.

I don't like Katey Segal in it.

Same dudes from Sons of Anarchy are making it and you can tell.

**Zetanio** · 2015-09-16 13:53

It's decent. Don't get your hopes up.

Greenwald said it was meh and I usually agree with him. Haven't watched it yet tho

**Cichy** · 2015-09-16 22:52

It was meh. I would not say it was good or bad, I'll give it 2 more eps. For me there was really nothing to grab on to. I didn't find any of the characters interesting and the whole deal with him becoming and Executioner was kind of stupid. Every time they showed the bandits I was thinking is he Robin Hood?

^have to echo this. it wasn't awful but it didn't grab me either.

**Zetanio** · 2015-09-17 10:46

I could see the next episode kicking things up a notch.

**Wulfgang** · 2015-09-17 12:36

Damn, was hoping this would be amazing; the genre / time period / theme are right up my alley. Still early, so will give it a few more episodes.

Well, if it's anything like Sons of Anarchy, the series should build up slowly. I remember the first episodes of SoA were entertaining but it took a few to really hook me.

**chazzyphizzle** · 2015-09-18 02:48

if it's anything like SoA the first 2 seasons will be pretty good then the rest will be crap

Yeah, it stays OK and then crashes into the ocean in the last 2 seasons.

So how many episodes would u say it takes? I've tried a couple times. Couldn't get very far. Like to episode 3 or so.

If any of you haven't seen The Shield, I'd recommend watching that until this picks up.

**chazzyphizzle** · 2015-09-18 21:21

i binged the shield and the procedural nature of it took its toll on me by the end but the overarching plot was great, and the finale is probably the best finale of any show ever

**Weltall** · 2015-09-24 13:39

Just watched this last night, and I thought it was likely the worst show ive watched in a long time. The acting is absolutely terrible. I'll watch one more in hopes it turns around because the gore was good.

**Tomino** · 2015-09-25 08:56

Huge SoA fan, I couldnt last a full episode... It was a pain to watch, and kept reminding me of Hercules, Xena, Robin Hood, etc but not in a good way.

**Zetanio** · 2015-10-01 22:01

This show is fucking awful. Awful acting, terrible pacing. Why the fuck is Katey Segal in this?!

**macross** · 2015-10-02 05:56

Is he a bastard who's an executioner, or a guy who executes bastards, or a guy who uses a bastard sword to execute?

**Weltall** · 2015-10-02 07:07

Everyone involved in this show down to the makeup artists should be eliminated from the industry.
