I think we will just stay with Netflix...have never heard of MGM...
ReplyDeleteGeez, Angie, I have been mentioning it for years now LOL It was previously known as Epix and now they have switched into MGM Plus. They have a lot of historical shows like SAS Rogue Heroes, Domina, Belgravia, and now this too.
DeleteI could probably watch this but I don't have this channel. Maybe one day it'll be on Netflix or Amazon prime.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think MGM Plus has its channel on Amazon.
DeleteIdk about this one. How many times can we rework the story of King Arthur? I'm over the story honestly.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be what sells.
DeleteI think my comment was lost. Maybe that is not too sad a thing because I was partly moaning about the awful 2011 Camelot (Morgan Le Fay did NOT have a French accent) but that wasn't the only thing I didn't like. I quite liked the BBC's Merlin even if it was a bit silly sometimes (and Morgana had an Irish accent). My point was that I'm not against a GOOD adaptation of the Arthurian legend. We're a bit short of myths in the UK - well England anyway - the Welsh have The Mabinogian and there are sundry Scots tales.
ReplyDeleteDo not mention Camelot, I still have nightmares from that garbagefest. Did you
DeleteWell I didn't actually have nightmares but if a series isn't working for me I jump ship pretty early and did so with this. I've seen Jamie Campbell-Bower in other things though I didn't really like him as Arthur. There was a lady who wrote a criticism of it in The Guardian who was an absolute hoot. Valene Kane was in The Fall but I can't remember which part she played.
ReplyDeleteI did not venture further than two or three episodes either as far as I remember,but I try not to....
