Amazing series, infinitely better and deeper than Vikings and more interesting due to the historical nature of the subject than Game of Thrones.

The show has gotten constantly better over time and it truly deserves many more seasons.… Expand

Netflix put some money into season 3 and has produced a very slick and more professional production than did the BBC in seasons 1 or 2. Smart, funny and action-packed with a deeper look into the mind of the main character, Uhtred. There are a variety of new characters that were great to watch, and we see the best acting by the main characters so far! They were into this story far more than the previous 2 seasons, and it showed! Season 3 has a few flaws, but, man, did they hit it out of the ballpark! Some viewers didn't like the amount of divergence from the base material, but the author of the books, Bernard Cornwell, is extremely happy with season 3. Asked if the divergences bothered him, he said, "Not at all." If he's not bothered by the changes, why should his fans be bothered? I'm certainly not! It was fabulous and the lead actor, Dreymon, did his best work yet! If a season 4 isn't produced, and quickly, Netflix will be making a very bad decision. This series finally has some traction!… Expand

“Kingdom” succeeds so well because writer Stephen Butchard makes you care about the characters, suffer with them, be elated for them. He involves your feelings in their lives. This is the root of VIKINGS
weakness — Michael Hirst does slam bang adventure but you care less. If this is the“Kingdom” succeeds so well because writer Stephen Butchard makes you care about the characters, suffer with them, be elated for them. He involves your feelings in their lives. This is the root of VIKINGS
weakness — Michael Hirst does slam bang adventure but you care less. If this is the series reflecting Brexit, it is also the one in which Prince Edward steps up to the plate. Alfred thinks —he forces his son to think. Edward’s growth is a credit to his father and again, thought provoking writing by Butchard. Also, Uthred’s tender relationships with Brida, Hild, and ultimately the King make you tear up here and there.

Every series renews conflict between Alfred and Uthred — I was annoyed this time at the extent to which Aelswith harps on Uthred, especially since she had mellowed in season two and he had recovered her daughter from the Danes. Was also at first disappointed that Uthred did not engage with Athelflaed as he did in Cornwell’s book, but the renewal of his relationship with Brida, even though not a romantic one, lent depth. Overall the negatives were picky on my part; it is simply a terrific ride from its blast off of a start through the finish.… Expand

I really enjoy this series, but did no one notice the laughably awful acting by the portrayer of the new cartoon character, Skade?

Season 3 was a return to form after a poor season 2 (pathetic script). Couldn't stop watching. Great job.
Give an Emmy to that guy playing Alfred. Best royal character I've seen in a long time.

So, The Last Kingdom Season 3, finally available in my region on Netflix. Coming from the first two seasons, there is still a lot of 'Stuff that happened offscreen' as characters talk exposition for most of the first episode. After though, the season rapidly picks up.

The season knowsSo, The Last Kingdom Season 3, finally available in my region on Netflix. Coming from the first two seasons, there is still a lot of 'Stuff that happened offscreen' as characters talk exposition for most of the first episode. After though, the season rapidly picks up.

The season knows highs and lows in terms of excitement. It starts off very strong with an escalation between Uthred and Alfred, leaving the viewer to wonder if this is finally the moment that he will strike out on his own. His loyalty to friends gets the better of him though, and once again he sets out to protect his friends. You see, he's cursed by the sexiest fortune-teller in England, who wants to sleep with him. Poor Uthred...

Unfortunately, the escalation between Uthred and Alfred never really goes anywhere, as this season starts to feel more like a soap than a chapter in a Saga. A lot of scenes are about Danish lords **** as to who owns the fortune-teller, to the point that it feels as if the writer hit CTRL+V multiple times.

Scene by scene, the show crawls forward without purpose or a direction. From episode 5 till 8, the show seems to completely lose its identity, and could be called Scrubs but without humor, flashbacks or even a good soundtrack. Did the show runner leave for coffee in the middle of this season?

And then from episode 8 till the final one, the show picks up again. The argument between Uthred and Alfred is resolved, and the threat of the Danes is (once again) beaten back. Not as strong or epic as the previous seasons unfortunately.

The production value of the show is fortunately still very good. The creators still use practical effects, battles with actors instead of CGI, and it is as visceral as ever!

After watching this season, I'm convinced that The Last Kingdom is now also another mediocre show that cares more about filling a set amount of episodes than actually entertaining the viewer. Such a shame. I give this season a 6/10.… Expand
