I admit. I watched all seasons and talked my wife into it after Medici to watch it and we Binged it when I got off early enough to watch 2 to 3 episodes.
Who else also did this? I can't wait until the new season!!!

It's a good show. I watched all the "Vikings" seasons right before The Last Kingdom, so it was a bit of a gear shift to get into TLK. I eventually came to enjoy it, though. I've heard season 4 will be out sometime in 2020. Lots of good historical drama to watch out there!

I really enjoyed it. It is pretty faithfully based on Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories. There are 9 or so books in that series so they have plenty of material to continue with!

I couldn't ever remember what this show was called because I always called it "Utrid gets F____d".
It was okay, I just couldn't stop feeling bad for the character.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out. Can't be any worse than the gore/rape fest of GoT.

Me and the lady quite liked it a lot... some get-on-my-nerve stuff, and some REALLY hateworthy people; but hey... Was a good GOT/Vikings fill-in!

lol uhtred has a sad love life Lol! You are right! But I could not get into GOT like my youngest son (he is 34 yrs old.). But this was the best I have seen as far as closest to historical weapons and kingdoms to the period they were filming. Uhted, to me and Diane my beloved wife was as close as ultimate good who has struggles. Now let me state one thing on this. I love the history of Alfred the Great! So I think they did an excellent way of portraying him who had history write his History. I question it, but it is believable. Can’t wait until next season. Any ideas on the Seaxe? Wasp Sting

I'm just binging the 3rd season on dvd. I think it's the best season by now. First season was ok, second season I had some problems with. Usually I don't like story changes from books that I love, but I admit here it's ok and the fights and battles are great. My good old friend River Witham Viking Sword (the old one, not the fat one) watches it too with pleasure. My Witham Seax complains about Wasp Sting's sword hilt, but I promised it a new grip wrap.
