The Last Kingdom

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.

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!

This series is one of the best ever. As one of the characters said, "It is life." So much happens.... characters live and die, sometimes unexpectedly and certainly not what you wanted to happen. Despite being set in the 9th century, the series makes it clear that politics and power have not changed and The Last Kingdom amply demonstrates this. The role of religion and the power of the church also are treated as they should be.... sometimes good and sometimes evil, just as humans are. Watch it. I can hardly wait for season 4.

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.

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!
