The Winter King (TV Series)
« on: September 15, 2023, 03:14:19 am »

This series is based on the books by Bernard Cornwell. He also wrote the Sharpe books for those not familiar with this trilogy.

Currently showing on Stan over here in Aussie land.


I’m a massive fan of the books. Read all 3 twice and have the audible books I still listen too every now and again


Anyways on the the TV series.


As always with these things the films / TV series can’t do justice to a book. It’s just not possible.


And of course there is the ‘well I wouldn’t have done it that way’ mentality that is probably in all of us.


Do I like it? No not particularly. Will I continue to watch it? Yes definitely.


Anyone else watching / read or listened to the books?

I’ll have to check it out. You also might like The Last Kingdom, also based on his books.
Anyone else being strangely drawn to Dion Dublin's nipples?
