The good news for fans of FX’s “The Bastard Executioner” is that there are still three more episodes before season 1 comes to a close … and that may be the conclusion of said good news. The bad news is that there is no new episode next week, and that is a terrible thing when you […]
We are entering the home stretch of “The Bastard Executioner” season 1, and with that, we are starting to see more and more of how Wilkin Brattle could come apart at the seams thanks to this job. Milus Corbett has used and abused him already, he’s seen so much of what he loves pulled from […]
Through the first five episodes of “The Bastard Executioner,” we learned that despite this being a fairly cut-and-dry world, things are often more complicated still than they seem. Take, for instance, learning that there is a family history between Lady Love and the Wolf, who we are very pleased to see back within the world of […]
There is yet another new episode of “The Bastard Executioner” airing on FX Tuesday night, and it certainly feels right that you would go into this particular hour thinking one thing above all else: How is Lady Love going to resolve the matter of the fake pregnancy? Unfortunately, the new sneak peek below (via Yahoo! […]
Through the past several weeks, FX has presented to us in “The Bastard Executioner” a show that is firmly steeped in both politics and brutality.

At this point on “The Bastard Executioner,” Wilkin Brattle is becoming more comfortable in his role of wayward executioner. Thanks to that, some other nobles may be starting to become much more comfortable with him. So where is the tipping point going into Tuesday night’s new episode? For the moment, it is wondering just how […]
Checking in on the ratings for “The Bastard Executioner” is probably not something that we plan on doing on a weekly basis, mostly because if we were to do this for every show that we cover at CarterMatt, we wouldn’t have any time to do anything else. However, this is something we do want to […]
Come the end of next week’s “The Bastard Executioner” episode, we are going to be at the halfway mark for season 1. That in itself is a fairly scary concept. It was mere weeks ago we were starting to see the series get off its feet, and now so much as happened! By this, we […]
It is odd to be saying this given how many media-types out there during “Sons of Anarchy” complained about the length of some of the episodes, but with Kurt Sutter’s new show “The Bastard Executioner,” we are actually starting to think that it could benefit from running more than just a few minutes over the hour.
