THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER
FX, 10:00 p.m. ET
This second episode makes it official: Although the men carry most of the swords in this new series about 14th-century Welsh uprisings, the women are by far the most interesting characters. For starters, there’s Katey Sagal as the witchlike healer and seer known as Annora – and then there’s the woman who pretends to be the wife of the executioner, for reasons that are either compassionate or crazy. Too early to tell, but it’s fun to watch.
