Dark Wolf is a prequel to Terminal List, so you may actually be better off watching DW first fella.
I've watched the sequel. No correlation really. DW is better.

I was about to sit down and binge watch over the course of the week, but am I going to be hit with a load of BBC guff with it?  I've just seen a still from the battle of Hastings with your typical BBC Anglo-Saxon solider from that era.





 
It's 'colour blind' casting.  It's also had very meh reviews.


So no one has heard of The Black Rabbit Roman Brigade that was part of the Roman invasion of Briton. They were made up of Nubians. After the Romans left they remained in their own community in Sussex then part the bigger Wessex. Their descendants integrated into the Saxon army and were reputed to be good fighters. 
There's no such thing as a 'Roman brigade' and the Black Rabbit bit seems to be entirely made up.

Other than that, an accurate and informative post.

First series very good. Second series a prequel story. Unfortunately 1 episode a week so no binge
3 episodes into season 2 and it bloody excellent. Also good to see English actor Tom Hopper in it.

Ah is all this wokeness upsetting you? Stop crying you big baby. 
I just find it confusing why they'd bother spending so much money on CGI to make a scene realistic, then purposely make it unrealistic, Swiss.

I mean, I'm not really confused as I know exactly why they do it, but you get my point.

Loved Nighty Nighty 
Me too!

Bit late to this but almost watched all of Ozark.
Really enjoyed it though thr 4th season feels like it wasn't really needed.
Roots I binged watched seasons 1 -3 started season 4 twice but sill can't get into it. 
Ozark all got a bit much (just watched all 4 seasons in last month or so) but the ending sort of cleared it all up.
