The Last Kingdom

[Eichhörnchen]

Anyone else seen this? I liked Game of Thrones a lot but I remember being disappointed that it was going to be a fiction. Well this isn't... it's a magnificent imagining of King Alfred's battles to create an English Nation, and revolves around the fortunes of a young saxon Ealdorman, kidnapped and brought up by vikings, who later returns home. We had to watch series one from start to finish it was so compelling

I'm a big fan having watched the first three series and currently watching the fourth which kicked off last month over on Netflix.

A fifth season late in 2021 is expected, but not yet confirmed.

Having said that, I still think GoT was better but the difference in budgets make that practically unavoidable.

I've watched it from the beginning. Haven't started the latest season yet though.

[Eichhörnchen]

Well we've got season 6 of The Sopranos & then the final season of GoT to watch on DVD next; we don't have a TV and don't stream movies, so all viewing is from disc

Sorry to say this but everyone I know that followed GoT didn't rate the last season but best if I don't spoil it for you.

I watched the first season of The Last Kingdom, but I liked Vikings better.

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, that was excellent

I watched the first 2-3 seasons last year. A bit soap-operaish, but I liked it mostly because it was semi-historical and dealt with a period of history (early Middle Ages) which is rarely seen on TV.
