[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1220835, member: 34990"] Just finished all of Last Kingdom and the movie Was(/am) a big fan of the books, but never got around to watching the show other than the first season when it was first on the BBC It starts out pretty faithful but drifts further and further as it goes on - which I do get, because there's a ton of books/content to be putting in. Also the action gets a bit more..."Hollywood" as you go through, less shield walls and more spinning sword fight choreography. Hard to suspend your disbelief at times with some of the actor/actress choices - well, more their decision not to age them. Alfred's wife looks basically the same in S5 as S1, but in S5 she has adult grandchildren - thank the actress was only in her late 20s Was also surprised to see a few actors/actresses from House of the Dragon in there, must have the same casting people or something (or someone on HotD is a big last kingdom fan) All that said: it's an enjoyable watch, I love the history of that time period - definitely scratched a swords and shields and politics itch that Game of Thrones left [/QUOTE]
