Watched the first episode of the first series last night and enjoyed it. Thought it all escalated nicely with the homeopathy conversation at the dinner party :lol:

Aye that was quality. His reaction was just how I'd like to think I'd react in the same position. Not that I'm likely to be at a dinner party any time soon.

Been watching The Last Kingdom, on BBC.

Really is very good, the lead actor, Alexander Dreymon ( a kraut, by jingo!), is very good, as are the supporting cast.

It's based around the Danish invasion of Wessex in the time of King Alfred.

Is it true to the book?

Wouldn't know - I do read a lot of sci-fi but when I've tried to read the so called classical authors I've found them impenetrable.

 

The only one of his I tried was Do they dream...... and I gave up on it.

I watched half of the first episode and it seems they changed a few of the characters backgrounds and where they are. Juliana seemed to be in the Pacific States rather than Carson City (or wherever she starts in the book) maybe it could be starting before where the book was set? As I know Juliana makes references to how she used to live in the Pacific states. I'll be giving it a go as well like.

See how you feel after the first episode I reckon. It's beautifully shot and gets quite interesting, but it doesn't get any snappier, so if four more hours of the same pace is likely to irritate you then you know what to do.

Aye. I only need to see the last episode but I think it's been quality (and I liked the first season too) I think Ted Danson and Kirsten Dunst are particularly good.

The second last episode went a bit weird but generally I think it's been great. I've not loved Kirsten Dunst or Jesse Plemmons in it until the last few episodes mind. Ted Danson, Patrick Wilson, Jeffrey Donovan and the indian guy have all been excellent though.
