At the end of the 9th century many of the separate kingdoms, which we now call England, have fallen in bloody conflict with invading Danes. Against this turbulent backdrop lives our hero, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon). Born the son of a Saxon nobleman, he is captured by the Danes and raised as one of their own. For many years fate binds him to Alfred (David Dawson), Saxon King of Wessex. Uhtred must fight for Alfred’s dream of uniting the kingdoms. Suffering great personal tragedy, Uhtred is torn between the country of his birth and the people of his upbringing. After Alfred’s death, the turbulent reign of the new King Edward threatens his father’s dream more than ever. Uhtred confronts a difficult choice - if he deserts Alfred’s legacy, the future of the English people will be changed forever. (Universal Pictures UK)

Season 3 (2018) (S03)
I remember that The Last Kingdom was originally supposed to be filler before Vikings came out, but now it’s a full-fledged competitor that actually surpasses Vikings in everything. Visually impressive, historically accurate, the action is brutal but more intimate than spectacular, and the twists and turns are elaborate and shocking. The new characters are a grat (Skade and Bloodhead are awesome) and Uthred is an increasingly better and more interesting hero. One of the best historical series of our time. An emotional historical orgasm. 100%.

Season 4 (2020) (S04)
Like previous seasons, another five star affair and the best historical series ever. The battle in the 4th episode was such an emotional load that I didn't know whether to cry at the intransigence of the characters or scream with excitement at the rough and dirty action. I also enjoyed the new young leader of the Vikings, who is surprisingly fair and likeable. Can’t wait for season 5! 100%
