What a ripoff of GameofThrones... What laughable production values...


And terrible writing/acting, of course.

So the show even STARTS with a Game of Thrones-derivative theme song! Jesus christ. How many theme songs do you know that center on a cello taking lead role?? What a complete lack of imagination.

And, the show's threadbare, hackneyed plot is so boring, no need to get into it.

What is hilarious however is: how poor the production is. In the "crowd" scenes, they have a laughable 12-15 people. They couldn't even hire extras? They couldnt CGI it? Its just ridiculous when they have a "crowd" and there aren't enough people to field a flag football game.

For once I find a medieval show that is worse than Game of Bores. Says a lot for me.

The actor playing Beowulf is more than a bit reminiscent of Sean Bean as Ned Stark. They should use him as Ned's brother, Brandon if they do any flashback scenes.
