Could be fun in the same way Spartacus is...

--from much of the Spartacus team (and Turdors/Borgias team) and head written by Chris Chibnall who was headrunner for the first two years of Torchwood (and wrote the best episodes IMHO). Premier episode this week, then it starts in full in April.

I'm sure it'll be on Netflix--they're hoping for a show to bridge the audiences between Spartacus and this Summer's Torchwood. (It's ironic, I wanted Chibnall back writing Torchwood, but I guess he got offered this instead--at least he's not still wasted writing Law and Order UK).

VERY COOL! Starz is previewing Camelot after Spartacus: GotA finale!

I like it so far -- only issue... Eva Green - hopefully that stops.

Ok I really liked that preview -- sucks that we now have to wait until April for more.

I liked all in preview -- even Morgan's bits and pieces. Sad ending.

Yeah it definitely has potential to be a fun series, and it looks gorgeous. My only real gripe was it has that dialogue that mixes sorta faux "olden days" talk with some modern slang and turns of phrase... Spartacus does that too (only more so), but that show is so stylized it sorta... fits.

Thanks a bunch Q. So far I've had the chance to see the first episode you posted. I thought it was pretty good, definitely worth watching. It's not as compelling to me as Spartacus, but I see a lot of potential here. I love that actor who played Marc Antony in Rome, I think his name is James Purefoy. The actor who plays Arthur is definitely pretty, Morgan was right about that much. :lol:

It gets better with the second episode. It isn't Spartacus but it isn't The Tudors either, I am not quite sure how to describe it. It's like a show from The CW maybe?

By the end of the second episode the whole soap opera set up is in place. I will continue watching and if you want will post the links as I find them. I don't have Starz either.

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
