I watched a few episodes of the Uhtred series on TV...couldn’t get into it. It’s on Netflix now and may give it another go. None of the characters matched my imagination. I’ve read the books so many times I felt as if I knew them and these people were strangers.
I’ve never read the books but have watched both series, so I’ve had nothing to compare it to. I like the characters in the show, and am looking forward to the third season. The first season was aired on BBC America, but then they dropped out, and Netflix picked it up.
Yeah felt the same way about the Sharpe tv series shows I saw. Just doesn’t work as movie/tv. There is too much depth to the characters, you don’t have time in movie/tv to tell the story
