As I keep saying, get an ororo.tv subscription. Better and cheaper than Netflix.

Television The Last Kingdom on BBC
- Thread starter djembatheking
- Start date
I heard that some insidious individuals are using Cyberflix or Kodi combined with a scraper subscription like Real Debrid to source torrents as streamable. Hopefully these hoodlums will be caught soon.
Season 4?? damn.. one of my favourite shows this.
Yep, Sunday 26th on Netflix (all eps released). Ten again (which I think is a great number to not go into the territory of just filling it out)
I do wonder if they will skip time forward.
Never heard of it. Is it a decent selection?
Was that the scene where he beats up the bigot by any chance?
New season on Netflix, Destiny is all.

Gonna binge this and fauda today and tomorrow

3 episodes in, some big things already happened. Enjoying this season so far.
Watched 4 episodes of the new season, so far so good. Have to say it seems extremely different to the books or atleast what I remember of them. May need to reread them it seems.
It absolutely holds up so far. I’m on ep 5 atm.
Uhtred, son of Uhtred!
Been a while....

I also loved that line.
Fantastic line, especially the way he puts Aelswith in her place.
Watched 8 eps so far - 2 left which ill watch today. Its been great so far.
I hated Aelswith up until this season, but she's been a real surprise Some self-reflection and now seems much more tolerable. I think I actually like her lool.
2 more episodes to go now .
Finished this. Really enjoyed it and there needs to be a season 5 dammit sooner rather than later.
I like a few of the new character theyve introduced
Season 5 guess

sigtryggr is different from most of the other danes theyve introduced which is good.
I think theyve done a good job in casting Uthreds son and daughter at an older age, esp the daughter.
The scheming brother / sister seemed like it would be meh, but once Athelred went, their stuff kicked up a notch.
Some of the supporting cast are great, Finan and father pyrlig especially. (Finan was hilarious during the sickness eps)
Although it had to happen, was sad to see beoca go.

Going to guess they do a jump in time, where the bastard child with Uthred has grown a bit. Theres a rise in tension between the 3 kingdoms and the danes kingdoms.
Only thing im wondering about is Brida. Shes seems to have gone into total villain mode since being rescued.

This is up to book 8 and he has written 13 books so far.
Edit . Just checked , it's 12 so far , apparently book 13 is due in Oct 2020 and will be the end.

Oh wow, so far? So without giving spoilers is there an aim for the books (eg planned number etc)
Could shows overtake books?
I've really liked this, the thought put into it and the political game being played along with the action
I've only read up to book 11, though I think book 13 may be the last one I'm sure I read that somewhere.
I saw someone said though that they followed books closely only in first two seasons, but in 3rd and 4th they went their own way. So I don't think connecting the books matters at this point.
There is a plan to finish and I don't want to spoil . They are varying slightly from the books which I think is always going to be the case but as the story is based loosely on historical facts it has stayed true to Bernard Cornwell . Book 12 was awesome so the future is good. Destiny is all.

Watching this now....up to episode 3
Gutted to see Father Beocca die - and also hard to see Uthred lose - not used to it.... was actually hard viewing.
On episode 6. Great fun so far. Action and incident packed.
Yeah loved the Season 4, The Last Kingdom as a whole is imo better than Vikings, Vikings best season is better than TLK best season for example, but Vikings fell apart in later seasons and has many "filler" episodes that bored me, while TLK I never found myself bored throughout the seasons, probably also because of TLK 10 episode format which doesn't allow filler compared to Vikings later 20 episode format.
So I find TLK as a whole package better.
Bring on Season 5!

Agree with this completely. Its nice and 'tight' in that we arent seeing added stuff for the sake of filling time. They can add time jumps as theyve done in certain places (eg the 30 day skip in one of the eps) and not be an issue.
Thats a good point. I think him winning there would have probably ending things for him. But its a loss which has consequences. They werent all just driven back. They lost somebody (im sure Uthred said he would make sure nothing happens to Beocca as well.)
It was well done, and the added insult of not being able to take the body either.

My favourite line was in the last episode when Haesten says to Eadith 'women have been known to fall for my charms, given a year or two' or something like that.
loved that!I used to prefer vikings to this, but i loved season 4 of this a lot more. it's a great show.
Quite enjoyed it, thought
Good season overall but not as good as Season 3. Quality show, its the show that GoT and Vikings should have been. Consistently good, great to see it start to take off this season too.
Edward being so stupid at the end was really out of character though.

I know it's Bebbanburg but all I ever hear is Behbehbeh.
I hear Battenburg.
I've just watched the first episode and I'm in now. It's got a lovely squalidness to it. The battle was horrible. So far so good.
How does this compare to Vikings? Definitely seems more British 20 mins in to the first epiosde. Funny how that's a thing. Probably more realistic because of it. Seems like the sound and aesthetics are less cinematic. Dunno if I'm ready for more religious heavy stuff. Vikings was amazing but being so religion heavy did start to grate a bit, even though it's obviously very important to the story.
I had attempted to watch this a few times and had really struggled to get in to it. However just recently I started struggled through the first few episodes and have binged the whole thing and it’s possible that it might be better than Vikings.
The time period itself would all be heavy religion because it’s basically what all the fights are about. Still plenty of religious elements but probably less preachy and weird than Vikings.
Cheers. I'll crack on with it. It is mad if they all talked about religion as much as they do in these shows. Literally all they ever think about. No wonder it's still going strong now.
As a whole, I like this better than Vikings tbh, best what Vikings has to offer is better, but this was much more consistent as a whole for me.
Religion is ever present, but has more to do with politics than the religion. This show is different, and I’d argue much better than Vikings.
The downsides are you have to get through season 1 which is the weakest to get any payoff, and if you’re American you have to turn on subtitles to sort out the names because everyone is called some version of Alfred or something.
