The Pillars of the Earth -- "Battlefield" -- 08/06/10
Synopsis:
Spoiler:
Episode 4 of 8
This aired on Friday night and is now available on Netflix streaming.
Have any of you been watching this? I know most of you probably don't have the time or patience to watch a period drama like this, but I'm impressed with it. It's a really well shot, acted and directed miniseries.

I meant to watch, then forgot it was going to start and missed the first two episodes. 
I'll probably check it out on DVD.

It's really good. The first two episodes are free ondemand and it streams on netflix. I've never read the book that it the series is based on but I'm enjoying it.

I like it as well. Its a nice little precursor to A Game of Thrones.
Plus I love Haylee Atwell. She is the only reason I stuck with The Prisoner as long as I did.

I'm waiting for Ian McShane to call someone a cocksucker.

Still chugging at a good pace, I am very suprised how good it has been. Great set pieces, battle scenes are solid and acting is pretty good.
I loved the book, but its been 15+years since I read it. So enjoying the mini-series as its own thing,

I am really enjoying this so far. Read the book about a decade ago so I really don't remember many details other than that I really liked the book. I just caught up on Netflix and can't wait until the next episode. First Spartacus and now this...Starz is kicking some ass.
