The cinematic quality of TLK is very high IMO with lots of dramatic shots, but not off the charts CGI like GoT. Overall, TLK is a character driven story, with great characters, and is in a broad sense about the clash of Saxon vs Dane/Norse cultures and Christian vs Old Norse religions.

The series’ first episode sees Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon) continue his quest to retake his ancestral home of Bebbanburg, before allying with a rival new King while Alfred (David Dawson) makes chin-stroking speeches about the nature of peace and war to his captives.

Out of a possible 35 marks (you can tell I planned this well), The Last Kingdom has scored 20.5 – a decent enough score, but far from the pure product I’m sure we were all hoping for to get us through the coming dark times. In the end, The Last Kingdom is just too different in its tone, ideas, sexual politics and dragon inclusion to fill that Game ...
