FX has finally aired the highly anticipated followup drama from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter. Twitter had lots to say about the premiere starring Stephen Moyer (True Blood), Katey Sagal (SOA's Gemma Teller), Matthew Rhys (The Americans) in The Bastard Executioner.
As we previously mentioned,The Bastard Executioner follows a warrior knight, Wilkin Brattle (Lee Jones) in King Edward III's court. The loyal knight has been broken by the ravages of war and vows to leave the way of the sword. When violence strikes again, the retired knight is forced to pick up his sword again.
In an interview with Variety, the True Blood actor, formerly known as Bill Compton, dishes on playing the Big Bad, "Everyone who does this will tell you they like to do them because it's much more interesting. I don't know why they had to come to me, but I'm much more interested in ordinary people who have screwed up somehow and are trying to make the best of the circumstances or are lead down the path that they normally wouldn't go down. My character is ambitious - ruthlessly ambitious. He wants the crown and he wants to live the life. I don't know if we will see in this season or in future seasons where he came from."
