Online Series: BBC's The Last Kingdom (Netflix)

[KapG]

The Last Kingdom is now on Canadian Netflix.

Yea it came on about a week ago. What an outstanding start to that series. One of my favourites j think

But man does Uthred not have any luck with the ladies.

It's a Bernard Cornwell thing - the beautiful ladies are always attracted to main protagonist (Sharpe/Uhtred) but something tragic always happens to them, or they have to marry another man against their will etc etc.

Or they're a psychotic ***** and run off with all his money

For those who have read them, how are the books? You can get the entire series for like 60$ or so and my pops and I were thinking bout it

Watched the whole thing on Netflix and wanted more was so disappointed it only had 8 episodes.

I have watched the series and just started the first book. I really liked it. Hopefully there will be a second season.

solid. It's not Cornwell's best series but there's lots of great characters and scenes to chew on. You'll learn a lot about history by reading them.

Ok cool, appreciate your response WG. Will probably purchase them as I'm always looking to add to my backlog of books lol.

This show is really, really good. Sucks that there's only 3 pages on it, haha. With this and Vikings, I'm pretty much hooked on that time period. All the characters are really enjoyable to watch, and I think Erik Karlsson is great as the lead.

I just liked the show first, but in episode 4 or 5 when Uhtred was forced to grovel and then totally turned on the church and killed that guy with his horse - wow, it became great. Looking forward to season 2. Without the queen tho

Just watched the first epsiode of this.

Goodness its great.

Was looking for this but couldn't find it, this series is most definitely on of my new favorites.

Looks like title of the thread can be changed to BBC/Netflix series Last Kingdom as Netflix is now co-producing the series.

Can't wait for the second season to be available.

Season 2 picks up in the year 878 as the wild lands of the north have fallen into chaos and rebellion. Uhtred continues the fight for his native land of Northumbria. Having given his sword to King Alfred, despite his upbringing by the invading pagan Danes, he embarks on a voyage to reclaim his own fate and avenge Earl Ragnar’s death, recapturing his ancestral lands of Bebbanburg.

I hope next season has Steapa. Steapa is awesome.

That actually sucks for me, I guess it won't be airing on BBC America now.

Looks like I'll be SOL, too.

 

[Virtanen18]

[KapG]

Cant wait!!!!!

**** yeah

 

[firewagonHOCKEY]

I liked the TV-series more than the book. Ubba was my favorite!

Bernard Cornwell who also writes Sharpe writes many series where the heroes, villains, friends and ladies are all the same .. just different names and set in different eras.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Season 2 will only be on Netflix? Not on TV?

 

[Mount Suribachi]

BBC trailer released, will also debut on 16-Mar (last year USA was 1 week ahead)

 

[sheed36]

Finally returning tomorrow night.

 

[Virtanen18]

Rewatching season 1 right now, arselings.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

was Alfred in that trailer at all? I can't remember much about the 3rd book, was he in it?

 

[Virtanen18]

Still not on Canada Netflix for some reasonnnnnnn.

Went on live chat with Netflix and was told there's a licensing issue they're trying to figure out so just keep checking everyday. Lame. Guess I'll have to d/l.
