Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands (2016)
Very entertaining, just don't benchmark it against GOT
I googled for 'TV shows that have been canceled' and out pops Beowulf. The main character on the poster looked a bit like Faramir, and after reading some positive comments on various sites, I was convinced to give it a try. Told myself to keep an open mind; and given that it's only 12 episodes, it shouldn't take very long to finish it right? Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Nevermind that it is nothing like the original material, the premise was enough for me to go on to the next episode, and then on. I found it entertaining. You just have to look beyond the CGI (but it isn't really that bad, I have seen worse- 1st episode of Grimm comes to mind ) and the source material. In regards to the latter, just consider it Beowulf re- imagined and you'll be fine. It deserved better and in my opinion is way better than Merlin, which could never get pass an episode.
