The Last Kingdom

One of my favorities! This Netflix series is a period piece during the early years in England highlighting the battle between the devoutly religious and non-religious, good and evil (sometimes in reverse), and is full of action, drama, sensuality and a bit of fantasy. The main actor, Alexander Dreymon who plays "Uhtred of Bebbanburg" is mesmerizing and entertaining to watch! Great supporting cast, great storyline and a great escape!

(It's on a smaller scale of 'Game of Thrones', but very enthralling and it will keep you hopping and binging!)

If you haven't seen this one yet, it's a true hidden treasure!

I've watched this at least 4 times, maybe even 5 and having just finished watching it again I genuinely look forward to watching it more in the near future. The characters and story lines are on point and unlike Vikings every season is brilliant. On top of the brilliant production the sound track fits perfectly and gives me goose bumps each time I watch. Hats off to everyone involved this is by far my favourite series with the ending to the film (Seven King's must die) finishing this epic story in the most perfect way possible. If you haven't watched it yet stop floundering and get watching. You won't regret it!

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.

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.
