The Last Kingdom

Recommended Posts

Watched S1 after it was mentioned in the Night Agent thread.  Binge watched it while flying.  Pretty good. 

Just started S2 and I'm hoping to see the nun get nekkid now that she's got longer hair. :banana:

Great show. I don’t think there was enough of any nudity though 

We just started season 4 yesterday I think; we love it, especially my wife who isn't even shy about "hey, can we watch Uhtred tonight?"  :lol: :cry: 

Could use some more (female) nudity.  That one scene with Aethelfled? (Mercia lady) nekkid, dayum she has a killer bod under those flowing robes.  :wub:

One thing I noticed last night...

They make sure and show that Uhtred has dirty fingernails, which makes perfect sense.

However he ALWAYS has perfectly maintained mustache and chin beard with zero stubble anywhere. 😂

One of the best shows on Netflix.   Haven't watched the movie yet but looking forward to it.  All 5 seasons are very good

On a business trip so started watching S3 in the hotel after work.  A few observations after 2 episodes... 

- that nun chick still makes my pants feel tight for some reason.  Is she the middle ages equivalent of Suzy Kolber???? 

- King Alfred's wife needs to die ASAP.  Focking kvnt.  (I've thought this for awhile so it's nothing new to S3) 

- I'm thinking the over/under for when  Uhtred bangs the hot witch lady is around 4 episodes.

Great show. :thumbsup:

How many focking characters - both male and female - have names that start with or sound like "Ethel"???   Ethelthred, Ehthelred, Aethelwold, etc, etc.

Titties are always good, and The Last Kingdom is prolly my favorite of all of the Netflix series.  Peaky Blinders and Dexter with a close second

I've watched the series at least 4-5 times now. Same with Peaky Blinders and Dexter (as far as watched that many times)

One or two series I really want to binge again aren't available to me with my current cervices....OZ and The Wire

Agreed on Peaky Fücking Blinders and Dexter (aside from how it ended). 

The red head Aedith is also a cutie, but unfortunately she keeps her goodies hidden. 😢

If there's a small criticism, it's that S1 sped through A LOT of the book material very early on. The show was made on a shoestring budget and no one knew it would become a hit. If they did, IMHO, they would have converted the pilot ( one of the best pilots in the modern TV era, it's pretty fantastic for a first episode) into it's own full season. There is so much in that pilot that could have been fairly fleshed out into laying a foundation for the whole show. 

I've read that the show is popular amongst lots of actors, even some big name ones, but it's hard to get cameos and guest stars because of the way it's filmed. It's really a technical marvel when you look at what's on screen compared to their actual operating budget. Only History Channel's Vikings under Michael Hirst can really compare in terms of massive output in contrast to what is seen as a very limited modern TV  budget per episode. 

Rings Of Power was given a 60 million PER EPISODE budget for it's first season. TLK spend 10 million on 8 episodes, which in modern TV, is basically poverty level production. To be fair, TLK first rolled out in 2015, but still, the difference is staggering. In essence, the cost of a single ROP episode probably covered TLK's entire operating budget for it's entire 5 season run. 

The show IMHO gets repetitive as it wears on, cast losses are inevitable, but some losses were pretty difficult to surmount. If the show could have gotten a full 8 episodes out of Matthew MacFayden ( not that popular in America, but moreso since his run on Succession), IMHO that would have generated enough "star power" to get the show a broader audience much earlier. Dreymon, for better or worse, just can't pull in a wide scale audience on his own. 

I'll say something unpopular, but this might have been better as a three season show. Ended it after three seasons. The writing, I felt, was just far stronger in the first three seasons.

A geek meat with you and I would be pretty cool...
We'd  run to the hills, play with our troopers together  at 2 minutes to midnight and sob at our fear of the dark while we are both nekkid wasting our love.  :ninja:

Then again, in 5 years time we'll realize it was just wasted years....

I'd make you my Powerslave, which was the 2nd song on my radiation playlist.

Fun fact: when I was getting fitted for the form fitted head/shoulder mask - - which gets bolted down to the table to ensure proper placement - - I asked the gal if it was OK to move my hands against my leg while getting blasted with radiation. It is unpossible to not play air bass when the Steve Harris galloping bass line kicks in.  She made a note of it in my chart. :pointstosky:
