GRRM is a fan. His review below:
Based on Bernard Cornwell novels of the same name, it follows the birth of England through the eyes of a half Dane half Saxon warrior Uhtred Ragnarsson.

This too. After watching it's now one of my favorite pieces of zombie media ever and I can't wait for season 2.Also watch kingdom on Netflix for a GoT zombie Esque show based in Asia
Zero.
It's one of the shows on Netflix I've been meaning to watch.

There is some viking witchcraft and skullduggery. But no wizards or dragons.Without spoiling too much is there magical elements in this? Looking for something to scratch this itch
I didn't read any books but still love the show!
Season 4 is coming!Thanks for making this thread. I really hope more people find The Last Kingdom as it is such a good, underrated show and I want Netflix to keep going with it. Each season has been better than the last.
There are fantastical elements to it. Norse mythology stuff.
I'd start with the first book in the Saxon series and then tackle his Sharpe series if you get a feel for Bernard's writing.I've heard they're good. In fact I heard he's just a great writer. Tell me where to start with Cornwell's work

Is it a star trek type show?
Cool, I'll check it out. I've had it on my watchlist on prime for like a year but keep forgetting because I don't use it much. HaNot really. Star Trek's great and all but this is a more grounded look at space, if you'll pardon the pun. It feels visceral in ways that Trek/Wars tech doesn't allow. It feels like a genuinely possible solar future, complete with powerhouse companies, dissident human factions, and... well, a potentially supernatural subplot that gradually becomes heavier, a la ASOIAF. (It's written by George's assistants from back in the day!)

I watched season 1 and part of season 2 a long time ago. All I really remember is the main character being insufferably annoying and stupid, and that the show was pretty corny too.
Only watched Season 1 and didn't care for it. Was I supposed to hate almost every character?
This will renew your faith. If it helps, there is no plot armor in this show for anyone other than Uhtred. Also, the characters do not make ridiculous or dumb moves where you scream WTF.I'm done with serialized drama for a long time after how awfully GoT ended. The well is poisoned.
check out the korean movie Rampant its almost identical but is actionpackedIt's one of the shows on Netflix I've been meaning to watch.
