    I'm obsessed with Uhtred

    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.

    'The Last Kingdom' is a great binge!!

    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!

    BRILLIANT!

    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!

    Great TV Show

    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!

    Incredible

    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.

    • Goofs
      It is incorrectly said that Alfred's crown would not have borne the fleur-de-lis. Alfred The Great, on whom the character is heavily based, is depicted a plethora of times through history as wearing a crown bearing the fleur-de-lis.
