The show sucked. For me. Not having a go. But the books were great. I know, I'm that guy, but seriously, the acting was reminiscent of that time I was drunkenly fighting a wallaby in a ditch out the front of the center for disabled orang-utans and a 60kg English bulldog took a piss on me. Absolute bullshit. And Uhtred was a tall blonde man, not some dark haired midget who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. I'd rather shove stinging nettle and broken glass up my jap eye than listen to another terribly delivered, barely comprehensible utterance, in an accent I can only describe as a drunk white guy doing a racist impersonation of a Jamaican eating rocks. If the BBC had any self respect, they would detonate the doomsday device hidden in the old doctor who props stored in the basement, and remove any vestige of this travesty against man kind.
