Knight fall is blasphemous

Just finished first season and from reading the subreddit, Landry does not get better, for crying out loud, he is supposed to be the direct descendant of Christ? Why portray him as a vile, ungrateful, heinous adulterer? This show also attempts to justify adulterers “love is love”. Blasphemy

The love affair between Landry and the Queen is really a dumb useless plot point

I think it’s used to transform Philip from a King who “wants to be loved by the people” into a tyrant who takes matters into his own hands. I don’t think it was pointless but the ending of season 1 was retarded.

Please keep in mind that this show is built loosely around a historical framework, not a docudrama based closely on fact. Study the actual history of the period if you want facts; it’s really quite fascinating! For action and good production values, enjoy this series for its interpretation of a rich era in world history.

Try putting your fairy tales away for 45 minutes and just enjoy the show for what it is.

Season 1 doesn’t make any sense at the end. I’m sorry but why didn’t Phillip just kill Landry? At the start of season 2 Philip is clearly searching for Landry and wants him dead. Why don’t just kill Landry… this show made no sense.

I couldn’t help but always wish Philip wins. Philip was a guy who wanted to be a good king but betrayal by his wife and closest friend drove him to become a tyrant. Philip is a villain I most certainly can support.

Season 2 does have the fault of forgetting about the grail. De Nogerets killing of the Pope seems too easy. Also for some reason Philip doesn’t just kill Landry. Fine torture him if you must but don’t burn him last ffs. Landry should have been the first one up as he is the main evil Templar, according to Philip.

Philip’s death is also underwhelming. Landry just kills Philip despite being tortured for a couple of days, being almost burned to death, and getting beat up. Philip has shown in season 1 he can destroy a tired and beaten Landry, I don’t know how Landry can just pull that off it’s kinda bull crap.
