I didn't literally mean how does the plot end....I was asking if it ended in a way that would allow it to work as a mini series.

Bilge. TY students do Game of Thrones.

Only worthy quote from the show: -

Hope is a small daughter, of a blind father!

Finished the series, it had it's moments, but felt like it didn't go anywhere.

Warming to it but it teeters on the brink of absurdity all the time. That

Jedi mind trick scene

at the beginning of the third episode was just:rolleyes:

Just watching the first episode and it's alright, then again any programme that has Welsh spoken in it is OK with me.. It's another on my watch list.

Thought episode 2 was a bit of an improvement, won't give up on it just yet

hullaballoo · 31-01-2018 12:01AM

I was totally unable to comprehend what I was watching for all of episode 1 and agree it seemed totally mis-cast, especially Julian Rhind-Tutt.

Watched the rest of it due to lack of options more than anything and found myself enjoying it for what it was. It's almost criminally historically inaccurate in relation to the Celts but the Romans are bang on and actually based on historical figures. One word to sum up the whole production (Donovan's drug-fuelled mania included) would be incongruous.

I doubt it'll get a second season and I will be able to live quite happily without it.

Watched the first episode and while it's not as terrible as I expected, it's a bit all over the place and pretty muddled.

I'm 4 episodes in now, I think it's absolutely great! Episode 2 explains everything you may have been confused by in the first episode. After that it's just twists and turns everywhere. I have no idea where it goes or how it ends, but I'm glad I gave it a go when I did.

40 minutes in and am not impressed

Jerichoholic · 10-02-2018 10:55PM

Finished it in two days. It's great, stick with it.

donegal_man · 11-02-2018 12:04AM

Just watched the first two episodes back to back and won't be bothering with the rest. The sad thing that if they'd just made a historically accurate show about the political machinations around the Roman invasion it would have been fascinating. Instead they went with this weird mix of history, fantasy and plain ham.

Hey, it had some crucifixion in it, you won't see that on Fair City!

You could have provided a link to sources, but never mind I used google.

Is it bad, that I drew a blank on the show, needing to scan through an episode to remember what it was about.

Galwayguy35 · 18-03-2018 09:38AM

Bit surprised they killed off Kelly Reilly.

It was an ok series, passed an hour on the winter nights but it would need to improve a bit in series 2

JP Liz V1 · 15-09-2019 10:33PM

Britannia 2nd season starts on Sky Atlantic on Thursday November 7th

Galwayguy35 · 28-11-2019 08:26PM

Anyone still watching this?

It's not great so far but hopefully will improve a bit.

Jerichoholic · 28-11-2019 10:37PM

Back watching today and I can't remember who anyone is or what is going on. My memory is atrocious.
