But understand this: The historical accuracy is shaky at best. Don't believe this is what really happened. The sword is a joke, the tactics are not very accurate, The castles - nope. But that's not why fat boy tunes in. I really enjoy the show.
I dig the characters even though you'd think I wouldn't, given what I like otherwise. And they manage to keep the story interesting.
And I call people "assling" whenever possible.

I did a search for "Last Kingdom" in thread titles, and didn't find any going back to 2015. Figured it probably was buried somewhere in a megathread or offshoot of some other conversation as it is too big of a series to be completely missed.
Enjoying it really is the key, rather than expecting historical perfection. There are some interesting insights into succession of the throne and how it was really decided back then that I think is decently accurate, though. Not a strict "your oldest son gets the crown" situation.
