This one's been kicking around for years now - I asked about it back in 2015.
It seems to have been one of those blighted dramas that's been in script or development hell for years, and by the look of the finished article I'm not surprised!
I think Jez Butterworth only got involved on the strict proviso that he could ignore history altogether, and concentrate on fantasy druids dressed as mummys, smoking chillums at Stonehenge.
It also follows the rule of contemporary historical TV drama that everything set before the invention of the steam engine must resemble Game of Thrones.
