Comparisons to the popular series Vikings is unavoidable. So little is known of that era, that it's hard to say which fictional series is more historically accurate. The Last Kingdom might have an edge there, and a little more relevance…

I tried watching Game of Thrones once...it seemed to me to be violence for violence sake committed by characters who as far as I could see were all despicable and who had no redeeming values. This is certainly violent, as were the times…

I really enjoyed this first season. It’s kind of like an Edward Rutherford book on video! I used Wikipedia to verify some of the people and events because I am not too familiar with this era of English history. I have put a hold on Season…

Slow going initially then they killed off the most interesting character. Plod, plod, plod it went until Our Hero emerged from the lake like Venus with a man bun and braided beard. Very good actors - most with Shakespearean creds - all…

Not bad film on the series from B. Cornwell that I enjoyed many years ago. I tried to overlook this portrayal of Uhtred (a bit too pretty) and some of the other actors as the characters. The savagery of their battles was probably…

I really enjoyed this first season. Lots of violence, gore and it reminded me of The Witcher and Game of Thrones (without the magic). I highly recommend it; I plan on reading the books asap!

The books are better.

I don't know why there are so many good ratings and reviews on this series. I did not like any of the characters, and the acting and dialogue was simply quite lame. Game of Thrones may be fictional but its more enjoyable than this drab.

I think it's a great show because I love the books. Have read the series twice and have them all.The only point I'd like to make is I think Uhtred is a little too 'pretty' for a warrior who by the time he's shown fighting for Alfred, still…

Omg! Great for the bbc to produce such a riveting series. I've read Cromwells books, and this series is certainly an accurate adaptation. Better than game of thrones in my opinion, as it is historically accurate.

I might be writing this comment in Nordic runes instead of English if it hadn't been for King Alfred the Great. Who's King Alfred the Great, you say? He was the ruler of the kingdom of Wessex, the only part of England which hadn't been…

NC-17 Content, intense reoccurring violence and sexual content. Brutality towards women. Little to no useful historical accounts or information. Pornographic imagery.

Decent enough historical movie. This movie has less sex and violence than Game of Thrones.

We really liked it and hope there is a second season out soon!

if you like Game Of Thrones you're gonna love this. If you like OUTLANDER but find some of the scenes 'outlandish', you're gonna like this better cuz it's more restrained in this area. there are many fine actors & a realistic saga…

Great series. This DVD covers the first two books of Bernard Cornwell's series the Saxon Tales. The books are great (you get a shield wall event about every 10 pages! ) If you want to read them in order: 1) The Last Kingdom, 2) The Pale…

Good pacing! None of that director's artistique stuff. I too want to see the next season.

As in the description, it was en epic on King Alfred the Great's battles to end the invasion by the Danes, heathen Vikings, during Medieval England. However the central figure of the film was the free spirit Uhtred the Godless who was born…

Very entertaining! The Last Kingdom tells the history of Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon noble who is captured and raised by the Danes, first as a slave and then as a son. The plot is vigorous and every episode is full of twists: "we don't…

Very good series, we can't wait for the next season. I loved Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe book novels (more the books than the movie series), so I tried to read the "Saxon Stories" novel series, but did not like it. I was pleasantly surprised…
