From the folks who gave us Ancient Astronauts, Knightfall is an even bigger steaming pile of crap.
The first season was difficult to watch, got less historically accurate with every episode. Got the distinct impression the producers were attempting to "fix" Templar history, and just making it worse.
There are too many inacurracies to count, let's just say that this series tries to portray a pack oi supremacists as victims. Classic fascist propaganda.
They even managed to screw up the one bit of truly mystical Templar lore - the Curse of Jacques de Molay. Completely misrepresented.
When considering that the most sucessful movie franchaises (Star Wars) was based on Templar history, it is hard to imagine how this series failed. It even recruited Mark Hamill for the second season. And still bombed.
The acting was horrible, except for Hamill. His performance just showed up the others as clothes horses, mindless hacks.
I hope someone actually does an historically faithful dramatization of Templar history someday, but Knighfall is not it.
