Britannia - Seasons 1-3 DVD Unboxing

One of the finest shows on television at the moment, this punky alternative to Game of Thrones is a brilliantly bonkers and darkly addictive romp through the Celtic land of Britannia. Boasting an all-star cast and a plethora of memorable characters, this compelling drama deserves a far greater audience – and now, thanks to Acorn Media, a wonderful DVD boxset of the first 3 seasons gives newcomers the perfect opportunity to binge.

We took a closer look at the boxset…

Season 1

AD43. As the Roman Army prepares to destroy the Celtic land of Britannia, rival warrior women Kerra (Kelly Reilly) and Antedia (Zöe Wanamaker) find themselves working together to fight off the monstrous General Aulus Plautius (David Morrissey), the leader of the Roman invasion.

Season 2

Two years after invading, General Aulus is Romanising cooperative tribes and crushing resistance with the help of Queen Amena (Annabel Scholey), but does he have another agenda? The only form of hope for the Celts and Druids is Cait (Eleanor Worthington-Cox), a young girl who is being trained by outcast Divis (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) to fulfil a prophecy that would save Britannia from the Romans.

Season 3

General Aulus has now fractured and shattered the powerful druids, but his true mission, to capture and kill The Chosen One, remains out of reach – but with forces gathering against her, Cait is more vulnerable than she knows. Sophie Okonedo joins the cast.
