keanureeves676 It is collection of Game of Thrones, The Vikings and Brave Heart war strategy .And not difficult to anyone to remember the original characters .My advice to you, don't waste your time and skip this bad series.
brendamas One of the best and most enjoyable series to come from the BBC and yet they are procastinating where for goodness sake is the follow up ? Everyone worldwide adored this brilliant work the actors and story telling was superb especially Alexander D notwithstanding the other great actors in the show please Hurry do not play games like The Game of Thrones it is so boring waiting I have lost interest do not lose people's interest by playing the waiting game
chiek-er Just like the highly entertaining TV series "Games of Thrones" (GOT) that came after author George RR Martin's excellent five-volume fantasy novels, Bernard Cornwell, another brilliant English author whose immensely wonderful book series has spawned this magnificent historical TV series about the Vikings' battle with the Saxons. I like GOT but I love "The Last Kingdom" (LK) chiefly because of the historical nature lending it greater weight and making it more 'grown-up' than a fantasy story like GOT. Specifically LK's story was set in 700s England about Vikings' attempt to swallow up the entire old England. Sure the characters in LK were fictitious, but the geography and history have made the TV series more engrossing and believable. It was fascinating for a non Brit like myself, a geography buff, to learn the how England was carved up into Northumbria, Mercia, Wales, East Anglia and Wessex. Like GOT, the casting in LK was impeccable. Brilliant Danish actors played the marauding Danes (Vikings) while immensely talented English actors played the English. How more authentic can you get. Though it was hard to believe that the Vikings then could speak such excellent English. Just like GOT to enjoy LK optimally one has to read the books in tandem with the TV series. The Last Kingdom has dethroned "Rome" and "The Americans" as my number one TV series.
matteocevese I love stories set in this period, especially covering political and battle episodes of the age. I found overall the series mediocre, compared especially to Vikings, not because of the adherence to history or costumes or acting, but simply because the whole storytelling is mediocre, similar to a B-rated TV show like Hercules or Xena could be. The protagonist, Uthred, is probably the most unlikable protagonist of a TV show. And not because we can characterize him as good or evil (we don't care, we enjoy watching protagonists with gray areas, or even villains) but simply because he seems like a spoiled brat. Each episode we don't know what he is going to do but most disturbingly we don't understand why he is doing something. "now I want to be an earlderman, now I am a Dane, now I kill people, now I am a loving father, now I hate my 2 months old son, now I love God, now I hate him, now I plunder, now I enforce the law. And the same goes for other characters, but obviously Uthred is the most annoying. We need consistent storytelling, we don't care if he is good or bad!
