Reviews

cygnus_x-1 After being pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed two seasons of this show, I felt compelled to write a review. If you're looking to avoid yet another cheesy Game of Thrones knockoff but still enjoy historical period shows, this is the show for you. The Last Kingdom has all that is good in a show: Good acting, compelling plot, high production quality (great scenery and sets), and a diverse and interesting set of characters who are refreshingly devoid of teenage angst. Best of all, its lead character is, though flawed, one of the most likable characters I've ever watched. I really hope there are more seasons to come.
ZaDoor007 Having read the entire series of books, I was delighted to see the series come out. It is a very good effort, but does lack a bit of the grit and gore of the books. Very enjoyable interpretation none the less. It might have been a budget constraint, but my sense of the books was a more lively and busy time - frankly, more people, bigger battles, more historic gravitas - but then perhaps this is what it was like. Not an expert on this particular period in history and would trust the BBC researchers to get this portrayed accurately. Looking forward to season 2!
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!
rsvp321 Two years between seasons? I give you a two star rate.No excuse for this! A high production show like GOT can make it annual, why can't you?For the record, I really liked this show, but it lost my interest with these huge gaps.If it got cancelled, I wouldn't even notice.
