The Last Kingdom

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.

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.

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!

The characters and plots are spot on and unlike Vikings, every season is brilliant. On top of the brilliant production, the soundtrack fits perfectly and gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Hats off to everyone involved, this is hands down my favorite series. The actors are so good it's hard to single out one in particular, although Alexander Dreymond's work is impressive, but the interaction with David Dawson who plays King Alfred is outstanding. And that doesn't take away from the excellent performances from all the main cast and the casting did an excellent job with Millie Brady playing Dreymond's love interest. I want to see more of their future performances. Every season is just as good as the next. There really isn't much more I can say about this amazing show that hasn't already been said, so go watch it. I promise you'll love it.
