We watched a couple seasons, maybe three. It just felt like it had run its course and we didn't feel like finishing it.

There are a couple threads about it around here, but I'm a pretty big fan.
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. |

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. |

Season 5 has finished filming and is in post-production now, probably won’t be released until early 2022. Season 5 will be the final season of The Last Kingdom. It is a great show, can’t wait for the final season.

Just binged the final season, it’s tuff to follow the names sometimes but I thought it was well done. Going to miss Uhtred of Bebbanburg, but was happy to find out that there will be a 2 hour movie that is supposed to air in 2023 on Netflix, they are already filming it so it’s not a rumor.

This show was absolutely great start to finish. I was really hoping against a let down like GoT, and they did a fantastic job with the whole thing. I too will miss the Arseling!
This last season had a lot of emotion for Uhtred, and Alexzander Draymon was just awesome to watch. His character has really grown since the beginning of the show. I don't want to comment too much on the last season, there are a ton of thoughts and I don't want to put spoiler tags...but suffice to say that this season does the show proud. I'm looking forward to the 2 hour movie which will wrap everything up, but honestly, it's not really needed. They did a good job ending the show. That said, I DON'T CARE, I WANT ME SOME UHTRED!!

That's next on my queue...did you watch it all? Is it related to Last Kingdom?

Solid 8.5 out of 10, filled my weird itch for GoT styled TV series. Sucks they had to stuff 3 series worth of material into one season at the end but at least we got a proper finale.
Absolutely worth a watch and the guy playing Uhtred is killer.

Valhalla is the sequel to Vikings.

Which makes sense. I never got to Vikings, was just mentioning to the wife the other day that we should look into that one, though it does have a lot of seasons, so a lot to catch up on. Do I need to watch Vikings to understand Valhalla?

Yes, if you want the full continuity. The Last Kingdom slightly overlaps with the "Vikings"narrative
