These scenes are delightfully WTF, actually: Your move, Melisandre!) The only other familiar face is Stephen Moyer ( True Blood) as Milus Corbett, a scheming, power-hungry, and gay adviser to the baron who holds his bloody thumb over the countryside rebels. (Annora is always trailed by a character called "The Dark Mute," who is masked and yes, mute, and is played by Sutter.
In the same vein, Sutter's wife, Katey Sagal, who played Gemma, the Lady Macbeth of Sons of Anarchy, co-stars in The Bastard Executioner as Annora, the witch who tells Brattle that he has a secret destiny. You're either here for this, or you're not. But that's what Sutter - the Sons of Anarchy creator who has hundreds of hours of television on his résumé - does, and his ardent fans will expect as much. Seriously: I couldn't believe what I was watching, and if you saw the premiere, you know what I mean. When that proves to be impossible, The Bastard Executioner unleashes violence that makes Game of Thrones look like an episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood on PBS Kids. Its hero(ish) is Wilkin Brattle (played by Lee Jones, an Australian theater actor), the executioner of the show's title - but at first, he is a man with a pregnant wife and a violent past who is determined to live a stable life. The show, set in 14th-century Wales during the reign of Edward I, drops the audience into a complicated, fully formed world. And The Bastard Executioner, which had its two-hour premiere this week, does indeed do that. A writer like Kurt Sutter is going to tell you what his show is in its first hour.
