My thoughts on why The Last Kingdom isn’t the GOAT

While this show has incredible storytelling, scriptwriting, and stunning scenes, I feel there are some issues that have kept it off the Greatest Of All Time list. 1.) While I know historic liberties are needed in a television show, it does not merit a history buffs praise. Nordic history was let’s use the word correctly “colorful” they loved that stuff and no matter every Viking show or Movie they wear grey, black or blue.

2.) Uhtred aging for sure has issues. Either a blessing from the “Gods” or a lack of character accountability. It’s hard to gauge time.

3.)The numbers of people and size of war parties are never consistent. 5 boats leave the shores and 1000 people show up to the fort.

4.) Brida. Literally all and everything Brida. I will share nothing more in this post but you know what I mean.

5.)As a medical professional all of the illnesses, injuries, and health conditions. I they never had a real expression of anything. I was unaware everyone turned white when sick or dying but in the last kingdom, you turn pale you have caught the death.
