It is a performances centric movie

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

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!

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.
