Knightfall - Season 1 [DVD] [2018] de 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.

Not too bad historically but takes a few liberties.

Los Angeles Without a Map (Paladin Books) de 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.
