Episode #2.3

This episode moved fast through a years worth of storyline, but a well developed storyline and some amazing moments. Loved Hild taking care of Uhtred, it was so sweet.

This episode stands as a masterclass in storytelling, a triumph rivaling the legendary Ozymandias from Breaking Bad. Every frame hums with precision: the pacing of events, the raw surge of emotion, the sting of betrayal, and the harrowing suffering etched across Uhtred's journey. It's a symphony of drama and pain, orchestrated with such finesse that you can't help but be swept away. I'm not sure whether it's the writing, the performances, or the sheer emotional weight perhaps it's all of them but the result is nothing short of unforgettable This is should be 10/10 rated episode it pisses me off the 9/10 rating.

This episode was one of the more impactful scenes I've seen in movie or TV....it's right up there with the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan in its authenticity and depiction of how harsh things were for certain people in times past. Nothing was watered down.

As always, the acting, music, directing, etc, were all top notch, and what we've come to expect from this show.

I've heard people say this show is underrated, and based on how few people I know have seen or ever heard of it, that would seem to be true, but I do have to say, that could partly be true to the brutal nature and accurate depictions this show demonstrates might not be for everyone. Nothing is taboo in The Last Kingdom, which is all the worse for knowing that this is exactly how life was for many people during that time. However, I think anyone even mildly interested in the genre should give the show a chance. It took me about 3 episodes to know that I'd be watching this series through its conclusion.

Perfect acting and storytelling . A sad episode but what a masterpiece it is . It is the best one yet.

You can only rehash the same idea and be miraculously saved from death so many times before you have turned a series into a bad soap opera. Can it recover from first three episodes of season two?
