So over the past 20ish years or so a lot of TV work has come up to the par of what is shown on the big screen particularly with fight choreography so was thinking what do some people think the most intense, brutal 1v1 fights in TV are?
Some that spring to mind for me are and in no particular order:
Dan vs. The Captain in Deadwood
Flint vs. Singleton in Black Sails
Spartacus vs. Crassus in Spartacus
Brienne vs. The Hound in Game of Thrones
Elliott vs. The Butcher in Gangs of London
What others ones can people think of? I haven’t included something like Oberyn vs The Mountain because the fight itself is quite tame it’s just the ending which is brutal whereas I think the above sustain the brutality throughout the fight itself!
