Shows we have 'cancelled' for ourselves

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Nope, South East. Plymouth is South West.

I guess Brighton. Is that the largest city south of London. The wonderful wine of Brighton. Just flows off the tongue.

Brighton is South. If you go South East from London towards Canterbury there is a town called Maidstone - that's where I am.

But I digress. Like most North Americans I've always assumed ancient Romans, dark age Vikings and fantasy folk all have British accents.
I could make a bad joke about little vocal cords, but I'd rather insinuate a bad joke about incestuous siblings.

"Bastard Executioner" only really got good on it's last episode, and was not worth the slog to get there.

I didn't make it that far. It's difficult for network tv to match the realism of a production like "Game of Thrones" or "The Last Kingdom". And its more than just showing a boob here and there. Networks are fighting with one hand behind their back and it's a fight they can't win. Budget restrictions, language restrictions and just plain writing is minor league. There are exceptions, of course. I thought "Fringe" was the the best sci fi show of the decade.

"The Last Kingdom" was so good.

I want more now.

Show. I know there are books.
