News the bastard executioner canceled - GoFuckYourself.com

?The Bastard Executioner? is no more. The FX drama series is laying down its sword following Tuesday?s airing of the season one finale.

Series creator and showrunner Kurt Sutter has gone to unusual lengths to salute the hard work that went into producing the show while boldly acknowledging that the ratings weren?t strong enough to justify a renewal.

The sword-and-sackcloth drama about the struggles of warrior knights in 12th century Wales proved to be ?an acquired taste,? by Sutter?s admission. And ?Bastard? was produced on much more than a Medieval budget. ?We did not hold back from showing the brutality of living in 1325 Wales,? he told Variety.

Sutter and FX Networks CEO John Landgraf had a candid conversation recently that sealed the decision about the show.'

Damn.. I loved it.

The name in itself is very off-putting. I remember hearing the name of the show and thinking, "Pass". Even when I heard Sutter from SOA was behind it, I still passed. The reviews weren't overwhelmingly positive, now I'm glad I passed.

The name of the the show was ridiculous, but it was alright.

The New Kingdom is way better

IMO Sutter tried to had to make the Mrs. more than she actually is, as awesome as she was in SOA she was equally bad in Bastard

iSpyCams · 11-20-2015, 08:34 AM

Well I made it about 4 or 5 episodes in, then kind of shelved it. The plotline was confusing as fuck, and the little I did understand wasn't particularly compelling.

Too much torture and gore, not that it would be off-putting in itself, but it seemed like it was just arbitrary, not happening to anyone the viewer really cared about. Like, torture and slice up the bad guys instead of random peasants.

And if you're gonna go so far out of your way with violence, let's have some T&A too, like SOA, Spartacus and Banshee. Those shows have plenty of sucky moments but there's always some naked chicks to remind you why you're watching.

Once "the last kingdom" started on BBC I stopped watching Bastard, a coherent story line that makes a little sense is way better than all that blood for the sake of blood.

The accent had me cringing every time, like Peg Bundy doing a bad KGB agent impression.

The show was terrible - looked really low budget, terrible accents, terrible acting with cookie-cutter characters, and just no reason to watch really.

Link?
Quick search did not give me anything, however I found this one in the process:
Kingdom (TV Series 2014â€“ ) - IMDb

Also found "the last kingdom" - maybe that was what you meant?

Kurt Sutter has been talking about making another SOA knock off using the Myans.... I wonder if that will happen now.

BlackCrayon · 12-01-2015, 12:30 PM

i liked the show. it took a few episodes to get into but thought it was pretty decent and could of been a lot better a few seasons in but oh well. i probably wouldn't of gave it a glance if it wasn't sutter who made it though. maybe i'll check out the last kingdom. hadn't heard of that show before.

Same formula from the beginnings of time. Stopped watching SOA years ago because of that

j3rkules · 12-01-2015, 12:57 PM

Lots of good shows get cancelled because no one is watching. This was not one of them. SOA, for all it's preposterous storylines was at least entertaining. Perhaps Sutter will try, try again and write something good for a change?

sutter ran hog wild with a great show and ran it into the dirt (SOA)
