It appears that on the Isle of Man, the location on Netflix goes a bit funny and there's only 1 season of this on Netflix...

Yeah I'm thinking I'll try that but I spoke to a guy at Netflix who said it should all be there. Told me it might be my internet speed (??) but I'm not sure. Accidentally quit the conversation as he told me to run a cable to my PlayStation. I'll give it a try but there are other changes that don't make sense.

Also not sure how to run a VPN on PlayStation. Could download Hotspot Shield on Chrome on the laptop or something but not sure about the PS4.

She's Abbess Hild. Still about in series 4.

Watched episode 3 last night.

I'm not sure what the problem is but it's not grabbing me this series. The plots seem recycled/too predictable, Uhtred & Co don't have the same vibe at all (why are Finan and Sitric never speaking to each other any more? Their banter used to be brilliant) - it makes me suspect a change in writing team but I can't find anything definitive about that.

I decided the run up to this was a good excuse for a full re-watch. Just started series 4.

Somehow, I'd forgotten just how strong this show was. What a blinder of a first series in particular. Even had Mr Not a Blacksmith watching most of it with me and he's been really enjoying it, if finding it all a bit intense.

Things I had forgotten made me well up/cry like a baby:

Conversely, things that made me punch the air/laugh myself silly.

Seven Kings Must Die is really just a happy bonus at this point - what an absolute gem The Last Kingdom is as a series. I can only hope for casting, writing and acting half so good for The Winter King adaption.

I could have saved you an awful lot of writing there TRB:

Literally every scene with Hild, Beocca or Steappa.

That reminds me, I might have to get Netflix back in order to watch Seven Kings Must Die...

One point I noticed in my latest rewatch of this show is that actually, Eliza Butterworth, who plays Aelswith, is a fantastic actor and she really makes that character come alive. Like, she's just so brilliantly venomous and in later seasons is conniving along with the best of them.

Si HATES her so much at the moment Posted Image and I don't think he believes me about how good a job they do of rehabilitating her just enough in series four and five. You're right though, she's a brilliant actress. Honestly, was anyone in this cast not great?
