It is a slow burner but if it’s not your thing then probably won’t get any better for you.

Knightfall season 2.
After suffering through the first season of this joke of a series I swore that I wouldn't waste my time with it anymore. Then they went and added Mark Hamill to the cast and suckered me in again and I gave season two a go.
Well its it did improve somewhat, it went from 1/10 in season one to about 5/10 in season two mainly because of Hamill's excellent character Master Talus, a grizzled Templer veteran who's seen and done it all and is just a brilliant, well done character (this is how Luke Skywalker should of been played in the Star Wars sequel triolgy). Some of the earlier episode's are actually quite good before it reverts to the same faults of season one as it progresses.
Characters change sides with very little reason and then change back for even less. Scenes are ludicrously overdramitised, rushed and badly thought out.
From a historical perspective the show is an absolute abomination. I've no problem with tv shows and books being flexible with with historical facts as sometimes the truth can be quite boring. I enjoy Vikings which takes plenty of liberties and The Saxon chronicles (The Last Kingdom tv show) by Bernard Cornwall are among my favourite books but there has to be a limit and Kinghtfall goes way beyond that limit. Its about as historically accurate as a Harry Potter novel!
All in all I'm glad I watched this just for Hamill's performance and I enjoyed most of the action scenes but I won't be back again if they make season three, which is looking less likely by the day anyway.

I enjoyed it, but a lot of these mini -series could do with a good editing.
What they attempt in 8 episodes, could be done just as good in six.
Too much padding.
I agree or make the episodes 10 mins longer, doing a way with a couple in the process.
It was very good though.
I know a lot of people have given up on it, but I think Angela Kang has made some brave decisions and really given it a shot in the arm. The last season, and the first episode of this new season, have been a return to form, and I like a lot of the new characters. Looking forward to the first spin off movie.
