In 1306, the Knights Templar are winding down their run as one of the most powerful organizations in the Christian world. Acre, the Templars' last stronghold, has fallen and years later a rumor is heard that the lost Grail is still in that area. The Templars, led by the courageous, headstrong, but noble Templar Knight Landry have shifted their attention to regaining a foothold in the Holy Land. They take their battle back to the Holy Land and their battles become the Crusades. The Templars are now losing allies and gaining new and powerful enemies, including the King of France. The legendary, wealthy and secretive military order of warrior monks are entrusted with protecting the Holy Grail and any secrets that are capable of destroying the Church.

Maureen Ryan Variety 12/07/2017
This is a lumpy, awkwardly paced, derivative show that doesn't boast much in the way of impressive visuals or engaging characters. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 12/07/2017
2.5/4
The cast is good, the fight scenes prolific, the overall lifting not heavy. Grailies among you could do worse. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 12/07/2017
Still, Knightfall has a certain charm to it, particularly in some of the side-plots involving the other Templars. The show takes a little while to get going after a frenzied and muddle start, but it builds its plot twists well. Go to Full Review Kylie Klein-Nixon The Post NZ 04/22/2019
It's historical drama at it's gory and fiery best. Go to Full Review Ian White Starburst 09/27/2018
5/10
Knightfall does something which is quite hard to achieve -- it takes one of the most mysterious and charismatic secret societies in history and turns them into a talky ho-hum version of the Knights of the Round Table. Go to Full Review Malcolm Hopwood The Post NZ 07/20/2018

Edward L @Glyndower Nov 24 Silly but entertaining 'historical' drama. The series is well made with good locations and generally sound acting for this genre and some good fight scenes.. If you want historical accuracy then this sort of series is not for you but it is gripping enough for a lay audience. The usual cliches abound: the Saracen doctor who seems to be able to cure everything with a red-hot iron; the villainous advisor (if he had a mustache he would be twirling it) and the sluttish princesses. See more jenaro v @JenaroV 04/07/2022 Desconozco que tan precisa puede ser en cuanto a hechos históricos pero es entretenida y sabe mantener una buena relación acción-drama como para mantener al espectador enganchado, salvo el ultimo capitulo que se excedieron en el drama. See more 01/30/2022 Wow, just where to begin. From the spectacular setting to the level of design the show has brought to me. The storytelling and how they ended it on a soft note in comparison to season 3 being cancelled. Without spoiling anything in mind, they still left so much more room for things to happen. The entirety of this show actually made me want to go make a rotten tomatoes account. Write the same review on this show twice, once for each season and watch it again! I could not go on about how much this is a must watch series. See more 11/15/2020 Good series so far (S1), lots of drama, fights/romance, direction changes, probably close to things that occurred in the period. Hope the series can maintain the momentum. See more 05/23/2020 A parody of the history, can't believe they permit such a false and far from the real story, to be made in a serie. This misinformed people about history of Phillipe IV Le Bel king of France. If you want the real story, which is a masterpiece, read the book written by Maurice Druon, Les Rois Maudits. See more 04/21/2020 Pretty good show. Good setting and interesting atmosphere. See more Read all reviews
