The Last Kingdom

I am on ep 6 at the moment and one could compare this with Vikings, while Vikings has better characters in general (the main character here is very likeable too), this show has a much better pace. Especially because the pace is fast you dont get bored at any scene and can stay engaged. The show has a lot of unexpected turns and twists, which are unpredictable. I highly recommend this show edit: after finishing this gem of a show, I have to say I almost was not going to give it a chance, but thank god I did, because this show has such an amazing pace and really well developing and talented actors. A show filled with great twists and turns and unlike in some other shows you actually get to see a lot of events happen during a single episode. Other shows should take an example here 9/10 for Season 1

This series does a great job in telling it's own story, one advice I would give to anyone who wants to watch it, is to separate it completely from the vikings series's story, and just don't compare them to each other. One very very commendable thing about this series is that there are so many things happening in every single episode which make the story advance in a fast pace and doesn't let you get bored. I also need to give props to Alexander Dreymon for his good performance throughout the whole show. Of course he's not the only good actor, but he is still the MC.. 9,5/10
