Rayanlarsen: andrew garfield's accent isn't bad for a non-historian, but how immersive would the whole thing really be if they just used period-specific actors?
Fathom Pulse: i've read a few novels based on this time period but still can't wrap my head around how quickly things escalated in 1381. what sparked the Peasants' Rev
Iron Cipher: Always got a soft spot for Greengrass's gritty takes, but can never get on board with sensationalizing 1381 like this. Not exactly subtle subtext when
Aria: finally a story that acknowledges the sickle as more than just a farming tool but what's this I hear about uneven results?
Liamk: I'd have liked to see more depth in exploring why this revolt was so pivotal for England, not just sensationalized spectacle
Shadow Sparrow: yeah, like we're supposed to take this seriously now? Another period piece that thinks 'medieval chic' is an actual theme
Pale Kite: surprised they didn't show more restraint in depicting those medieval villages - too much flair for my taste. Greengrass can do so much better than this when he's
Aiden: Garfield's got range, but can't save this uneven mess with its weird tone swings 🤷
