Knightfall takes viewers inside the medieval politics and warfare of the Knights Templar, the most powerful, wealthy and mysterious military order of the Middle Ages who were entrusted with protecting Christianity's most precious relics.
Knightfall begins after the fall of the city of Acre, the Templar's last stronghold in the Holy Land, where the Holy Grail is lost. Years later, a clue emerges suggesting the whereabouts of the Grail and sends the Templars, led by the noble, courageous and headstrong Templar Knight Landry (Tom Cullen, Downton Abbey, Gunpowder), on a life-or-death mission to find the lost Cup of Christ. From their battles in the Holy Land, to their clash with the King of France, to the dark events leading to the demise of the Templar Order on Friday the 13th, 1307 – a date which became synonymous with bad luck – the story of the Knights Templar has never been fully told until now. Focusing on themes such as belief, sacrifice, politics, love, power and revenge – Knightfall goes deep into the clandestine world of this legendary brotherhood of warrior monks to find out who these knights were, how they lived, and what they died believing.

No one else looking forward or interested in this? The trailers look good.
I didn't even know this existed until just now.
Yeah, I'm down for this one. Hope the PC crowd doesn't kill it or turn it into 'social justice' rant.
I will enjoy it more if they do.
The Knights of the Loyal Order of Stopping Sexual Harassment. Lead by the Grand Master, Sir Recycle-a lot. :2funny:
This sounds really interesting , I'm definitely going to check this out and give it a watch . I've done some reading in the past on the crusades and this period in history , and I've always found it fascinating. I really want to see how they put this across on the screen . Hopefully they don't mangle the history to much :)
Yeah, it does look promising.
First episode last night. So far, like my 401K, good but not great. I'll be back because I am easily entertained and I like men wearing long, red & white gowns.
Good enough to keep me watching for another episode. The Siege of Acre part was pretty good.
It was ok...kind of generic and didn't really grab me the way Vikings does. Then again, Vikings took a while to grow on me.
BTW last night's Vikings was awesome.
I'm about to wrap up season 3 of Game of Thrones. No way it's better than that. ^-^

Did the Vikings grab you in your special place?
You'll have to be more specific.
My legal team has advised me against that
Sound advice.
It's an experienced team.
Of what?
Careful. That could constitute 'sexual harassment' on both your parts. In fact, 'Both your parts' could constitute sexual harassment technically.
Mirth has been harassing me for years. He is a wanting slut.

Never have I been more accurately described.

Sluts have gotten a bad rap for years. Self respect is very over rated.

Knightfall has been renewed with an interesting addition to the cast: Knightfall renewed (http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/knightfall/267770/knightfall-season-2-release-date-news-cast-details)
"Fans will no doubt be overjoyed to hear that Star Wars' Mark Hamill will join the cast of Knightfall season 2. Hamill will play the role of Talus, a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran of the Crusades, who survived captivity for ten years in the Holy Land and is tasked with training the new initiates to the Order. Also joining the cast in season two is Tom Forbes (The Bastard Executioner) as Prince Louis, the violent and unpredictable son of King Philip and heir to the throne, and Genevieve Gaunt (The Royals) as Isabella, the daughter of King Philip who is well on her way to becoming the woman history refers to as "the she-wolf of France."
I watched the entire first season and thought it was okay. Almost gave up on it midway, but the later episodes were better.
Sir Luke of the House of Jedi? :o This better not be some kind of Jedi Mind Trick.
Hmm...interesting.
Maybe he'll actually get to train someone this time instead of promising 3 lessons of anti-training and then only giving part of 1. ::)
(It really does kind of sound like the part was offered to offset Last Jedi nonsense.)
I stopped watching this after the initial episode. Does it get better? The acting and the story just seemed a little meh. I just could not get into it. Seemed like it would be all politics. Not to mention that the armour was a little off from memory?? It was a while ago now that I watched it. But if mark Hammond is doing an entire season....
I stayed with it through the whole season, mildly entertaining I'd say despite the contortionist effort at Politically Correct Muslims and villainous Catholics. Has Hamill's career taken that bad a dump?
