THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER RECAPS

The Bastard Executioner small logo
The Bastard Executioner is a blood-soaked, medieval epic that tells the story of Wilkin Brattle, a 14th century warrior, whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of another man: a journeyman executioner. Set in northern Wales during a time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while also serving a mysterious destiny.

Guided by Annora, a mystical healer whose seeming omniscience keeps Wilkin under her sway; manipulated by Milus Corbett, a devious Chamberlain with grand political aspirations; and driven by a deepening connection with the Baroness Lady Love, Wilkin struggles to navigate political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to understand his greater purpose.

BWW Recap: THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER Series Premiere Brings Blood and Faith to FX
by Kara McCoy - September 15, 2015

I think it was Thomas Edison who said that series premieres are 99% anticipation and 1% reservation. Or he would have had he lived to see the dawn of television. There's some truth to that; however, as I found myself counting down the days to the airing of Kurt Sutter's latest FX pilot, I felt like ...
BWW Recap: Is Wilkin Brattle's Cover Blown on Tonight's THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER?
by Kara McCoy - September 29, 2015

Jessamy Maddox talks in her sleep. This is shocking to probably no one, but as she tosses and turns murmuring her husband's name, who exactly is she seeing in her dreams? Gawain, or Wilk? If I were Wilk, I'd feel super awkward. Thank goodness there's a crying baby to distract him from her nighttime ...
BWW Recap: Jessamy Keeps Stirring the Pot on Tonight's THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER
by Kara McCoy - October 13, 2015

Welp. Jessamy's acting weird. Must be a Tuesday. Last week's episode ended, you may recall, with Ventrishire's resident besotted kook walking in on her paramour getting all snuggly with Lady Love in the chapel. Tonight it becomes very clear that Jessamy is jealous, as well as delusional. When Wilk, ...

by Kara McCoy - November 17, 2015

Alright, folks. It's season finale time, so let's just cut to the chase. Finales are all about tying up loose ends, and tonight's episode of THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER was no exception. First there's that little issue of vengeance that's been hanging over Wilk and Toran's heads since pretty much the pi...
BWW Recap: The Dark Mute Unmasks on THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER
by Kara McCoy - November 03, 2015

It's been two full weeks since Lovekin became Facebook official-yes, 'Lovekin,' I worked really hard on that, okay?--so you'd think tonight's episode would be all about the forbidden romance between our favorite baroness and executioner. But no! 'Broken Things/Toredig Pethau' focuses a pretty big ch...
BWW Recap: Trouble with Rebels on Tonight's THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER
by Kara McCoy - September 22, 2015

In last week's series premiere of THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER, Wilkin Brattle and company swore to avenge the slaughter at the shire. Wilk knows who killed his wife Petra, and wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, is now basically working side by side with the guy as Ventrishire's newest executioner. ...
BWW Recap: Wilk Opens Up to Lady Love on Tonight's THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER
by Kara McCoy - October 20, 2015

A few big things happened in tonight's episode, and most of them had nothing to do with Milus Corbett. What. A. Bummer. But we're gonna talk about him anyway. I am so sorry for anyone who reads my recaps and doesn't like Milus. I'd like to actually take this moment to publically apologize to you. Bu...
