Spoilers, I guess.So, the Bastard Executioner started off with a dream sequence that was supposed to provide us the context for the show, but wasn't super clear until later events happened, so it comes off as just kinda weird and dumb. The dialogue was all pretty bad, a few too many gay jokes ("It's because he's fancy!") and shit jokes, like one character was recognized as consistently running away from battles and shitting himself. Like that was a thing. It kinda had this Kevin Costner Robin Hood vibe, but all of the characters looked a little too homely. And Katey Sagal is a witch who is manipulating the main character into entering a battle that he may or may not be able to win. Ya know? The usual. But with an awful, awful Scottish accent. Presumably it is supposed to be Scottish, because they're all supposed to be Welsh, but lack accents so her accent can't be Welsh. The title of the show hinges on a sort of collective suspension of disbelief that happens towards the end of the episode. Like I almost thought the bad guy was gonna call our main hero out on it, but he just kinda lets it slide. But it ends on a high note where the guy knows who he is going to be killing from here on out and so maybe the show can get better. There were a lot of small things that were supposed to matter and just really didn't. Like the oh, shit/stuff just got real fucking serious moment is the main character ditching his club and taking up his old sword and you're just kinda like sure, whatever, that's fine because I didn't even notice that he used a club because he had only been in one brief fight up to that point, which happened at night time and so I couldn't see much.
