The series is not bad, but it stunned one episode at the beginning.: On the queen's chest, the coat of arms already contains a lily, whereas Edward III himself introduced it there, thus declaring himself king of the united Anglo-Frankish state. It's a small thing, but as a historian it went through the roof :D

I liked this series more than "Pillars of the Earth"
It seemed more realistic, from a series where everything is bad, bad, and in the end a little better, just a little bit, but you can already say a happy ending. Several centuries have passed, and the world has hardly changed. There are still kings in the center, and ordinary mortals are just pawns, and yes, you can't go far with good and achieve nothing, this series is an indicator of that...(

I must say, it's no worse than other historical series - although I can't vouch for the authenticity of the events, since I'm not familiar with British history)) But the visual is very high-quality, the camerawork is excellent, for the sake of landscapes alone you want to look further, plus the actors are well-chosen, all pleasant, with charisma. And the plot itself is an ordinary medieval romance, those who love it will come in)

I can't help but watch and admire the king. What a wonderful Edward! He's so real, with his weaknesses and strengths.

Who offended Ken Follett between writing "The Pillars of the Earth" and "World without End" ((: ?

The beginning strongly plagiarizes the characters of the characters from the Pillars of the Earth, but gradually they begin to fashion something unique and their own towards the end of the series. I'd love to see more similar projects if they ever take up the adaptation of other books in a medieval setting.
