The Last Kingdom

The best way to describe The Last Kingdom is that it is just a flat out awesome show and a must watch. I never read the books so I didn't really know what to expect but I'm so glad that I did start watching it because it's become one of my favorite shows of all-time. As you can tell from the reviews and the rating this show is loved by just about everyone who's seen it. It currently has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.5 here so both the audience and the critics love it. I can not overstate just how good this show really is. Every season is just as good as the others. There really isn't much more I can say about this incredible show that hasn't already been said so just go watch it. I promise you'll love it.

Less polished than GOT, yet thoroughly riveting and entertaining. Just goes to show that showmakers don't need to spend tens of millions per episode to put on a great show. This show has some great actors and an obviously brilliant director

I put this on in a moment of boredom. After two episodes I was hooked. Great story arc from a fascinating and horrific period to be alive. Just about every actor smashes it out of the park.

Finan and Ardhelm both strong but very different stand out. Breeda was the only storyline that lost any sense of reality, it's like they didn't really know what to do with her. Alfred's wife/Edwards mum seemed ageless and became annoying and almost added comedy.

Father Pyrlig also surprised me, ive only ever seen him in small roles like the inbetweeners, but I look forward to seeing him again, Ian Hart as Beocca was the pin that hooked me from the start.

Great production values from the first episode that got better

Honestly it's been the best two weeks binging this. So pleased I gave it a go.

Have watched Game of Thrones, Vikings, Peaky Blinders- etc etc..but I had never even heard of until a few weeks ago has blown me away. The characters are well developed and you feel like you get to know each of them. Uhtred is by far the most interesting character that you he root for every episode. It makes me sad that with all the garbage out there, that the series doesn't receive the attention and accolades that it should. It's an excellent show, excellent production value, excellent storylines. Each season gets more intense and storylines are seen through. I highly recommend it.

Just happened to find this show scrolling through Netflix one day. So happy I found this series.

The first episode was good, but it took 2-3 to draw me in. I think the plot and story are just great. It is a twist on the Viking world that is currently taking TV by storm. The actors do a phenomenal job with their characters and interaction with one another.

I love how the relationships have developed between all of the characters in this world, between Uhtred/Alfred/Ragnar and just the many many other characters how have strained and strengthened relationship. I have turned several friends onto this who are GoT fans. I think this series is right there with GoT.

I can't wait for another year of it and I am interested in where they take the story and the characters!
