Bite me!
It's a new series that started last night.I checked it out and so far it looks very interesting.
It's set in London in 1814. Apparently it starts with an old man dying. And his son, which everyone thought was dead in a shipwrecked slave ship near Africa, returns to claim his inheritance. It's a strip of land near Vancouver, Canada which the East India Company wants BAD. Bad enough that someone (presumably the EIC) killed the father over. Thinking the land would go over to the dead man's daughter (the main character's sister, or perhaps half-sister). Which the EIC had a deal with to buy the land.
The main character's a total badass. Zero f*cks given kinda guy. With top-notch military training and some mysterious "taboo" type stuff in his background. Both before and after the shipwreck. It's very gritty and dark (and promises to be pretty violent). Reminiscent of Sons of Anarchy, Vikings and The Bastard Executioner. Profanity (I noticed 3 or 4 F-bombs) and naked butts here and there.
Check it out on DVR. I'm curious what ya'll think.
Also, I think the actor who plays the main character's brother-in-law was Torstein in Vikings.
