Video quality is horrible.
The author of the books this program is based on is one of my favorites. I've read all his 'Saxon Stories' multiple times so I've looked forward to this BBC series since I first heard about it. I didn't watch it live or via stream, I wanted to get the video of it to watch when ever I wanted; hopefully repeatedly. So the review for the series is Five stars! Great stuff, Mr. Cornwell should be happy. Just as good as the vids of Sharpe's adventure with the immortal Sean Bean. Sadly the review for the video is negative Five stars. Video quality is horrible. I'd heard it was available as DVD only; no BluRay but I thought 'That's OK, most of my DVDs, even the older ones, look fine when played via my BluRay player'. NOPE! Video quality is horrible. I think I got a bootleg or greymarket copy (although it looks legit) because, again, the Video quality is horrible. Comparing the video quality of this to BBC's 'Ripper Street' is night and day. Comparing this to HBO's 'Deadwood' (which is/was DVD, not BluRay,) is night and day as well.

Entertaining History Lesson
I recently purchased and viewed 'The Last Kingdom, England is Born' and found it very entertaining and informational. i enjoy period pieces that are loosely based on historical fact and this show fills in many gaps in the historical record between the plundering Vikings and early various, unorganized kingdoms located in Britialn. After years of outrageous and very bloody takeovers by the invading Danes (Vikings), the various kingdoms join together and finally provide enough resistance to ward off the invaders. What results is a more unifidied England under one leader, which has lasted up to today. Those that have enjoyed the first four seasons of the A&E show 'The Vikings' will certainly enjoy and learn from this show.

"The Last Kingdom" is the best heroic series that I have ever seen on film.
This is my absolutely favorite series ever. Like all great films, they have to start with an engaging and heroic story and excellent adaptive script. "The Last Kingdom" novels by Bernard Cornwell and script adaptation by Stephen Butchard excel on both counts. The dialogue is smooth and engaging and unique to each of the great characters portrayed. The pace is hypnotic. The temptation to binge is irresistible. In my opinion, the series has achieved the almost impossible task of producing a film that is as good as the original books. If you liked the first two series of "The Vikings" you'll love every episode in this series. The gory battles, although they are as good as any on screen, are not portrayed to satisfy vicarious violence quotas of modern filmmaking, but rather to represent the historic reality of the film and are essential to better portray the heroic conflicts of the characters. Characters who, by the way, are amazingly well cast and well-acted, every single one, amazing. The cast and crew have avoided every type of character cliché. I can't compliment the acting, casting and battle-fare enough. The production transports the viewer into the times, just wonderful. The Danes are fabulous, from Ragnar to bloody-mouthed Scarpa and all in between. Bravo to the charming hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. The direction and cinematography are top notch. As battles in film are a sign of great production value, especially when enacted by the actors themselves, as is the case in "The Last Kingdom" series, skin and sex, are signs of corner cutting -super cheesy-overdone ad nauseam- in modern productions. Sex in the “Last Kingdom” is always in function of the story, in good taste and not over emphasized. The female cast are realistic and chosen for their acting talent and to fit their characters, not too pretty, not too sexy, just right. Brida, Hild, and the very annoying Queen are classic! Again, cheers to the writer and directors who haven't screwed it up, yet. Since the last of the series is due to be released this year, I have high hopes that the production will continue to make great film and not succumb to any pressure that NetFlix might impose to make the series more PC or salacious, i.e., alter history to modern ethical views and dilemmas. It is the middle ages, after all. Let it bloody well be that. Lastly, I would like to address the Catholic Church in film. I like the way the Church is portrayed, in general. I think it is truthful and I think that God is used by many for good and for ill in the past and today. The series is more honest than the book in that regard. The book dings the Church too much, probably unfairly so. Power corrupts absolutely in and out of the Church. Religion is super-important in the middle ages and it was formative in every regard within western civilization. The filmmakers do a good job of being accurate in that regard. The dying Alfred sequence is a super moving glistening image of the redemptive power of God. The characters of King Alfred, Hild and Beooca are fabulous, allowed to be consistently faithful, and soooo well cast and acted. I do not like the score but that might just be me.

stepside
Like an extra long episode of Vikings, awesome quality! It can be raw also, and the twists and turns of danes culture and methods of handling life and death. Its even filmed in the washed out, muddy cod color. I thhink it holds its own, on its own merit tho, as another step, into 9th century Europe, and how the people fought, lived, and passed on legacy.

Superb!
People in the States not as familiar with this as other more popular serials are in for a pleasant surprise I think. Nice balance of all elements and some outstanding cinematography.

Top notch for BBC. Wish it was Blu-ray.
The story is serious, engaging and fun. Better than network TV.
