The Last Kingdom
(2015)
Reviews
Pleasantly surprised by the first episode *Spoilers* As a fan of Cornwell's Warrior Chronicles/Saxon Stories I've been looking forward to this series for quite some time. Mentally prepared for a major disappointment I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. If you haven't read the novels the story of Uhtred unfolds fast, perhaps too fast. This first episode covers more than half of the…
This is a great medieval TV show. It got great soundtracks. Great acting, great characters and great story. If you're fan of medieval TV shows especially TV shows like Vikings, you should definitely give this TV show a chance. It's worth it. Just one thing that I see issue about this TV show is the last season where years passed, but characters still look same. Characters that must be at least 50…
If you're wondering if this is like Vikings... It is, but it's better! I'd say there are two minor points against The Last Kingdom: in the 1st season, the camerawork and lighting are at times somewhat amateurish and, from what I recall, compared to Vikings, the fight/battle scenes aren't as well choreographed/edited/filmed. Apart from those points I'd rate The Last Kingdom over Vikings in every…
10.0 out of 10. If you've watch other similar Shows on the history of great Countries, Empires and people in history like Rome, Vikings, Britannia, and others you must watch this one. I absolutely love this show, it has a great story, excellent actors, overall slightly better than Vikings, but Rome is still my Favorite. They do kill off some top Characters but as far as History goes, some…
Every season is worse than the previous one. Perhaps the death of Alfred and his reconciliation with Uhtred in season 3 was the only memorable moment from the whole series, the rest was just yet another dumb TV series for the millennial audience ordered by a streaming service. Cheap, dull, shallow and just absurdly stupid with its pathetic attempts to catch extra points for gender and ethnic equ…
**Great, but could be better and decreases in quality in season 4.** I am writing this review after having watched season 4. I have binge watched this TV show and loved it overall, but I was disappointed of how the show decreased in quality in season 4. One reason for that decline might be that the former showrunner and head writer Stephen Butchard quit as the head writer after season 3. An…
