Let's be realistic.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I tried to like this but it really is utter rubbish. Watched the first season. Hopefully they will see sense and cut the show now. Promised a lot with a relatively strong cast but it really is very poor. The choice of theme music is very strange and doesn't fit at all. The story line makes little sense and if you are looking for any sort of historical accuracy here then you will be disappointed. Don't waste your time on this nonsense.

Enjoyed it thoroughly after somewhat indifferent 1st couple of episodes. Really hoping it gets renewed!

I found the start of this series a bit slow and confusing but it all starts falling into place and making sense mid season and gets really interesting. I'm not sure why people are trying to review it against game of thrones because Britannia is nothing like game of thrones. Bit of a mix between history and fantasy which makes an interesting storyline, they ended the season well and I hope they pick up from that interesting storyline in season 2.

Some of these bad reviews are hilarious. "It's so historically inaccurate!" "They didn't even go into the tribal history!" "They used modern words!" Everyone is a scholar on IMDB, huh? Well let me just clarify for those negative reviews; all of the curse words you use now have been in rotation for centuries, maybe not as curse words. The series makes a huge point that is pretty much centered around the tribal in fighting of the celts. Historically accurate? Really? So how much do we actually know about Britannia at this time? This was before the first runes were even recorded, 200 years before, there is any proof of them existing. The "reality" is we don't really know enough about this time or this people to even claim that. We simply don't know. All we know of the Celts is what the Romans wrote for us. And the few murky artifacts we dug up, that we can make hypothesis with. It's a fantasy show based on an actual people and land, and partly based on historical fact. This IS NOT a docuseries, to educate you about the celts and Romans. I think the problem is that people don't read anymore, so they expect tv and movies to educate them, because it's all they have, or know about. Ok, so if you're not expecting this to help you be a historian, it's a really good show. Sure some artistic license is taken. Enough for it to be called a "fantasy" show. I really resent the right wing jerk offs who are like " this is a feminist power show!" The Celts were one of the only ancient people who were ruled by women and also had their women fight with them on the battlefield. Women could be tribal leaders, and Queens and always led the tribes as far as spiritually. That is historically accurate you sexist pigs. So try to come and relax and enjoy and I think you'll find the acting is superior, the sets and costumes beautiful, and the script is great too. It runs the gamut. From cruel violence to laugh out loud comedic turns. The Prince of the Cantu in particular with his Onya goddess and the AWOL Roman soldiers made me laugh so hard. It's a great show. For what it is. Entertainment.
