Knightfall - Season 1 [DVD] [2018] par Tom Cullen

Eye candy clothing, bloody battles and epic level intrigue with some history to back it up and a load of fictional extras to add to the story, this sucked me in and kept me watching. I'm a sucker for the Knights Templar at the best of times and this is no better or worse than many other series with them at the core.

Not too bad historically but takes a few liberties.

Los Angeles Without a Map (Paladin Books) par Richard Rayner

Amusing in places, but too 'out there' - the characters, whether real or imagined, are more like caricatures, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Richard trailed to LA for Barbara. Except that he's a man, of course. Less Than Zero is a better sample of 80s LA.
