It all meshes together in enthralling fashion with a tale that’s understandable and a setting that’s tailor made for picturesque vistas. Last Kingdom livens up Saturday nights with Emmy caliber storytelling and oft-sumptuous production values.
Don't let the exposition-heavy first episode fool you; this may be a sword 'n' longboat epic with a handsome hero at its heart, but as adapted by Stephen Butchard, it subtly grows more complex with each passing hour until that hero becomes, to a certain extent, a supporting player in the far more dramatic epic of history.
The playful chemistry Dreymon and Cox have developed so well remains, adding poignancy to their star-crossed circumstances as the story unfolds.... There is plenty of spectacle in The Last Kingdom, but none quite as spellbinding as Alfred’s quiet intelligence.
The show’s many battle scenes play out in bloody, muddy confusion that’s nonetheless rendered with reliable clarity of storytelling, and, while Uhtred’s position as a hero torn between two worlds is central, it’s also not elevated much above the larger context of the story the show tells so consistently well.
The truthful background of this high-stakes history makes it thrilling on a deeper level. Along with the battle scenes and other entertainments, the series reflects many challenges of today’s world.
Last Kingdom is imaginative and amusing, and Uhtred makes for a smart, tough, randy central character.
After an hour or two, the series has taken on a life of its own, offering a reminder that there’s always room, at least on a niche basis, for another good one.
The point is, once it gets going, The Last Kingdom is a nicely told and suitably adventurous story of revenge.
亚历山大·德雷蒙（Alexander Dreymon）饰演男主乌特雷德很帅气，同时贯穿整部剧核心，刻画深度。
还原了公元9世纪的风俗、服装，几场冷兵器大战也拍得非常棒。其实争抢的也就是几个村子，大军压境也就是几百人，一千人就是大部队了（东汉末年是公元2世纪，曹操南征号称八十三万大军，实际兵力是十七八万），Alfred大帝的吃穿住行也颇为寒酸。Uhtred太性感了……
小人物融入大的历史背景，貌似简单的故事线却又一波三折，出人意料，令人欲罢不能，远远超越同题材的《权力游戏》和《维京传奇》。
雄性激素很足……黑暗时代那种草莽气质混合教会的无处不在，创造出一个非常奇异的世界，法律在宝剑的顶端、在灰蒙蒙而几乎没有装饰物的大厅中诞生。
在军事细节上对历史还原度相当高，最后一集的decisive battle简直燃暴。
惊艳到了 saxon and viking barbarian的蛮荒故事。。。。
最近在看《維京傳奇》才想到有看過這部。就劇情上來說中規中矩，一直開無雙的腦殘男主角，陰險心機的阿爾弗雷大帝，跟神秘兮兮的美女巫師，差點以為我是在看亞瑟王。 不過整體氣氛拍的是不錯啦。可惜第二季大概生不出來了...
主角的服装一直不变是个梗，其他还好~~~ 电视剧还是制作精良的！
开始看觉得很一般，看到后面几集，觉得好赞啊，男主好帅！！！
比Game of Thrones 好太多，简直是英国版笑傲江湖
扣掉一星是因为那么美的女主被砍头了。
男主真是一往无前地二呀。
男主情商一直不在线，前两三集比较好看。幕与幕之间转接的好差，经常是镜头一黑就换场景。看完这个决定去看维京传奇了。
这部剧深刻的体现了：1.800AD年代的欧洲人的破烂家底；2.欧洲人的世界观的种子，与后来西班牙人到拉丁美洲再到后来的征服世界没有发生本质变化。
不好意思承认，我是来看头发的……
就知道Alfred战前演讲会燃！😭😭😭决战太惨烈了都不知怎么赢的… 下季快回来吧乌锤德，回到你的傲娇国王身边… #表妹英剧#
看过《维京传奇》对这个时期的其他电视剧就提不起兴趣来了……
情节相似，但是拍的不如vikings漂亮。三集放弃。
本剧开创了中世纪历史剧的一个新流派，叫做中世纪偶像剧，劳资是来看威塞克斯大战维京爷们儿的结果分分钟被男主和青梅竹马甜一脸是怎么回事儿！男主太帅！太帅！太帅！躲柱子后面卖萌！邪魅笑容！好吧编剧让隔壁一直打到巴黎的拉格纳半集挂了我也原谅你！颜值即正义！
刚看完第一集 真不错
