Loved Kingdom and looking forward to the next season coming in Nov I think. It's probably a little bit more accurate than Vikings. Never watched Vikings on History Channel but it's great binge watching w/o commercials on Prime.

TLK is a little more entertaining to me, but then again it’s based on my favorite book series.

I always thought Ragnar was underutilized. He was cool, but so often seemed aloof. Like he had all these great plans in his head but kept them in his head.

Yea Vikings is much better. TLK is ok, but Vikings is one of the best shows of all time imo. Except this last 1/2 season, Ivar almost single handedly makes me not want to watch. You go from one of the best lead characters of all time to one of the worst.

I love both as both are historical fiction. My only real complaint is making IVar a cripple in Vikings. He was historically a badass leader of the Great Army. He was called The Boneless, not the Cripple. TLK and Bernard Cornwell in his novels did IVar better.

I loved Vikings early on but it has been slipping since Ragnar for me. I’ve read all of the Saxon Stories so Last Kingdom has a big advantage. Despite Uthred being miscast it has a superior plot to follow.

TLK looks to be more my cup of tea, overall. I tried Vikings and got the same vibe from the male lead as I did from Jax in SOA so I passed. Just didn't like that guy and it was going to be unlikely I would like him.

We are going to give TLK a try in the near future.
