Lame, just release it all at once

Lame, just release it all at once

They do this for shows that they co-own or produce with a regular tv channel which is also airing them at the same time. This is why they can't just release them all at once.

And, are they airing it on a regular TV channel? I couldn't find it...
I had it on TV for Season 1, though.

 

[Siamese Dream]

It's on BBC every week, Netflix is obviously adding the episodes in line with that

But not BBC America???

No clue. They also do it for The 100 and will be for iZombie when it starts up that I have seen.

That sucks. I enjoyed iZombie.

I'm going to wait until the full season is released then.

Fun to see former world strongest man, Magnus Samuelsson in this. Look out for the big blond giant tossing people around in season 2.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

I think the ire comes through so genuinely in the guy playing Alfred because he's frustrated that he's only one on this show who can act

 

[beowulf]

Ok so did I miss something or in the last couple of episodes did the whole show just jump ahead like 3-4 years? Utred suddenly has 2 kids the older son looking like he is about 3.

 

[Danko]

So everyone agrees that one guy looks exactly like middle ages Jonathan Toews right? That's all I ever see whenever he is on screen.

Just started watching today. Same.

Yeah, the timeline seems to be taken very lightly. On a similar note is Aethelfled (or whatever) the infant daughter of Alfred's that Utred's witch-wife saved in the first season? I don't remember it ever being mentioned before that Alfred had an older daughter and I haven't seen any mention of a younger daughter since then.

When the episode starts it says "3 years later"

I really love this show. I think this season has been superb so far. I can't wait for the next episode

I guess I missed that part.

I haven't been liking this season as much as the first one. The way the story is being told feels to much like a video game, every happens around how the main character wants it to happen rather than how it logically should. If Utred is a slave for ~6 months then the world around him more or less pauses and we jump to the next time that is relevant to progressing his objectives. His uncle knew he was alive and wanted him dead very badly, but just sits there doing nothing until Utred chooses to activate that quest. Young Ragnar just waits around until Utred is ready to do the "let's finally save our sister from what is almost literally hell" quest. Once she is unlocked as a side character she marries another of your companions for seemingly no reason. Utred also has fast travel on lockdown.

 

[BlackStar]

Last season was okay. This season is worse than okay, though still watchable, I suppose.

The acting performances are generally pretty bad. And as many have suggested, the shows' pacing is perhaps it's most disappointing part. I couldn't have cared less for Uhtred being a slave for six months because the show dedicated a whole 15 minutes to it. lol.

 

[SilasAdams]

The pacing on this show is super refreshing. **** actually happens. Dont have a problem with any of the actors. Uhtreds has gotten much better imo. Has great chemistry with Beocca and Ragnar. Hopefully Ragnar and Brida are back before seasons end.

 

[SilasAdams]

Season two is on Netflix US now FYI

 

[BlackStar]

The last two episodes were great.

I am in love with the princess. She is stunning.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

My biggest problem with this show is I'm just rooting for the Danes the whole time.

Haven't checked out season 2 yet, but I'll get around to it at some point.

Well you can root for them but considering this is based on real history don't be disappointed when they don't win :p

 

[NyQuil]

Like Alfred.

 

[beowulf]

Like Alfred.

Indeed the only king of England called the Great.
