I’m not into “superhero” type shows or movies so I don’t know if I’ll watch it. Maybe I’ll give it a chance and watch the first two episodes.

nfreeman Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 So I binge-watched season 1 of "The Last Kingdom," which is a joint BBC-Netflix production (there are 4 seasons so far). It's a bit like Game of Thrones, but historical fiction with no magic, dragons, etc. It's based on the history of the 9th-century war between England (when England was more like Westeros, with a bunch of regions, each with his own king) and the invading Danes (before they became known as Vikings). It's not as good as Game of Thrones (and the sex and violence quotients are lower, but still ample), but it's pretty enjoyable and beautifully shot. I give Season 1 a B to a B-plus, and I'm going ahead with Season 2, at least until TV sports resumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POSs the best thing I’ve ever watched on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not completely historically accurate because the main character was the biggest backstabber of its time for both vikings and saxons in northumbria. But I like the storyline and the acting isn't to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s way to much money to be had by Sony to not figure this out. They finally have the franchise working, they can’t afford to reboot it for the 18th time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably end up around a 70/30 split. I'm sure there's a number that Sony is willing to cede to avoid the financial risk of going it alone again.

Zamboni Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’m catching up on watching NOS4A2. Watched four episodes so far. I like the storyline. It’s different. Looking forward to AHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I need a new show. Just finished Carnival Row. Here is what I have enjoyed in order of preference. Breaking Bad The Wire Dexter Better Call Saul Sneaky Pete GOT Shameless The Walking Dead Snowfall (currently watching) Anything on Amazon, Showtime and AMC are within my capabilities with other cable channels on demand as well.
