At this point what I need is a longass serie adaptation of La Morte d'Arthur so ridiculously faithful it's downright absurd. Like yes we will spend half an episode following thevadventures of this Guy you'll never see again that has no relevance to the plot whatsoever, thanks.

Also the important part is EVERY encountered hermit is played by Michael Sheen. It's a different hermitage everytime, but they're all. Michael Sheen.

+Sir Kay occasionally breaks the 4th wall. Idk I just think he deserves it for all the bullshit he has to manage

Slang Isn’t New

A lot of people think that slang is a modern invention, but most people also know that words like Good-Bye derive from God Be With Ye, or that Howdy originates from “How do you do?”, which is how we end up with Howdy do or Howdy doody. But even in the medieval period, there was slang. In Thomas Mallory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, I found this passage.  “All the three kings and the whole barons said that merlin said passingly well, and it was done anon as Merlin had devised” - Book 1, Chapter XIV It’s easy looking back at middle English and being confused by it, after all, it is a different language from modern English. But in that passage, the word Passingly isn’t just an old fashioned outdated example of grammar or lingual drift, it’s a slang way of saying “Surpassingly”. And passing and passingly as slang for surpassing and surpassingly date back to the 14th century.

The Serial Killers Club (Jeff Povey) "When our unlikely hero runs into a murderer, he ends up killing the killer. Then he goes through his attacker's wallet and finds another shocker: an invitation to a party hosted by Errol Flynn. Errol Flynn? Isn't he dead? Intrigued, our hero crashes it - and discovers the Serial Killers Club. Its mission: share thrills and make sure members don't target the same victims. With aliases from old Hollywood, they include "Tallulah Bankhead", "Richard Burton", and soon, "Douglas Fairbanks Jr.", our hero himself. But "Dougie" isn't going to waste the innocent. Instead, he plans to knock off the "stars" one by one. And when they notice their numbers dropping, he'll have to answer a killer question: is he one of them - or not?

Obviously there are some strong Hunt element here, killing killers, questions of morality, becoming the monsters that you kill, etc. But also, "Okay, I know how it sounds, but Murder Club wasn’t supposed to be like this.""

Le Morte D’Arthur (Thomas Mallory) "Large portion of it is about the Quest for the Holy Grail and how all the knights keep setting out to find it and failing"
