The Last Kingdom

Adapted from British novelist Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories, this Vikings-based Game Of Thrones-esque historical epic is a fast-paced and furiously-plotted exploration of faith, family and sacrifice. Bloodthirsty battles and political manoeuvring might sound familiar, but this British-produced series treads new ground with its historical accuracy and canny character development.
