I live on The Wirral where the final battle takes place, I live in Thingwall (Viking for Assembly field or Parliament) which is mentioned in the film and is not far from the real site of Battle of Brunanburh 937AD which is when England was basically formed after winning the battle against Vikings Welsh, Scottish and Irish /Viking forces.
The last kingdom is for 12 year old girls who have a crush on guys that wear makeup. Watch Vikings with Travis Fimmel. Adult history, content and relationships.
its my guilty pleasure. I mean , I know every episode Utred will say " must attack them before 'insert what ever'. Its nearly every episode. But I still love it!
Strongly agree with your number #1 Pick. I remember seeing "The Last Kingdom" preview image for at least 2 years before I clicked play, and it so surpassed my expectations. One takeaway without giving anything away - I think - the main theme of this show is, nobility, loyalty, honor. I felt a loss when this series ended.
*"They tried to carry the show after Ragnar died, and failed"? In fairness to Bjorn - he was actually decent. But the Ivar storyline was dumb and cringe af. I couldn't watch it - just youtube the highlights. It seems they got really "Woke" with focusing even more on Females fighting on the frontlines and training the same as a male soldier would do, lol. After season 4 it really goes to shite@@akritasdigenis4831
Hi Carol. What brings you back? I also am a big fan of "TLK" I think to some degree the show balances out all the bad in the world, with some of the best human attributes, Loyalty, courage and a stoic sense of duty.
The Last Kingdom has so many rich and multifaceted characters and story lines. I feel as though I know these people. And I like them . I enjoy spending time with them.@@garricksands844
It is the story of Alfred the Great. The last Saxon king of England. The is before Vikings Valhalla. The English king involved in Valhalla Vikings is a descendent of Alfred the Great. The Last Kingdom is based on a series of books written by Bernard Cornwell.@@EstbXCIII
Show really should have continued. I still can’t believe they just canceled it especially after thar last season. Unfortunately too late now for anyone else to pick it up either
You are dead on with The Last Kingdom being number 1. The best show period I have ever seen on Netflix or any other streaming service. The actor playing Uttred is simply phenomenal. I wished that had done a few more seasons. It sounds like they had the material to do so with Cornwalls book.
Black Sails was great. I would love a sequel series based on Treasure Island. I think it would be great if told or filmed in the same style as Black Sails
Good pictures, beautiful people but bad story telling. Also last kingdom was a bit light weight to the end, too predictable. His fight against the strong, blond viking was perfect
Some the best bad guys scenes with the prince of France. "I like speaking english, it's simple and ugly". Hahaha. Best line to really get you to want to jump through the screen.
@@ChuckHolland-i4bdude I thought they should of done a prequel film exploring that character, Prince of France… even tho the character was short lived - he was enamoring… Robert Pattinson killed it! They could simply call it “the Prince”…
@@ChuckHolland-i4b touché!!! “The Dauphin”!!! Wish I like an Elon Mush billionaire and could have my own movies studio… would def made that movie a reality. Lol
Last Kingdom is definitely the best of the best! Then Vikings, then Vikings Valhalla. One movie not mentioned that held the top spot for a long time was the 2004 King Arthur movie with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley directed by Antoine Fuqua. For a decade, King Arthur was the best, until Last Kingdom and Vikings came along.
Lotsa love being shown for The last Kingdom, Best of the Best, etc. I concur, IF you are going to limit your list to English language movies and series only. As for me, the undisputed King and likely never to be challenged successfully historical series is Mr. Sunshine. A Kdrama historical series covering the last days of the Joseon Dynasty (Korea), up to and just a tiny bit beyond the Japanese annexation of the country prior to WWI, it's a Must Watch for anyone that claims to be a fan of the genre. The historical accuracy was near perfect, with one miss that added some context to the story line (completely unnecessary as written, IMHO), flawless cinematography, a musical score and OST that was completely compatible with the period of the show, (something that almost Never happens), an incredible script, with flawless deliveries by an unbeatable cast. Humor, drama, intrigue, action, it has it all. I'm not sure, but I think it's available dubbed in English, but even if it is, I think it much better to watch with subtitles, as you gain so much from the dialogue as it's delivered in Korean that can't be translated, emotionally. "What?!?!?!?!" That one word is Powerful. You won't be able to understand unless you see/hear it. IMHO, you owe it to yourself to see it. If you really are a fan of things historical....And Mr. Sunshine isn't the only one, there are many others as good as the ones on this list.
👏👏 Totally agree with your number 1...Last kingdom was brilliant and it's all available to binge watch..also 7 kings is the finishing touch,a 2hour movie to bring the show to a crushendoo
I like Vikings Valhalla, more than Vikings as I saw it first, Superior is Barbarians as it is my region and my people who defend against romans, but I saw Last Kingdom first, so i will always see it as the best
I agree with the top but I tink you have missed Knightfall, it was such a great depiction of the templars. My top 5 is Outlaw king, Marco Polo, The King, Vikings, The last Kingdom.
You missed Medici, Borgia, Babylon Berlin. Unfortunately the last two great shows were removed from Netflix. My favorite Viking, Marco polo, Medici, the last kingdom, Versailles, The last Czars, The king
I thought u meant new shows saw all of these before last xmas😊darned Netflix cancelled season 3 of Marco Polo 👕 my second favorite show after last kingdom😊
Last Kingdom is very good series, yet Vikings is life changing series. From Cinematography, to Cast, to epic characters and Dialogues, to everything. All hail to king Ragnar❤
Finally the Last Kingdom gets its due-----#1. It is very well written, you actually like the characters, script is not over done - using stupid modern terms and cliches. strong likeable characters tied into an epic story that nicely follows into UK history...close enough.
Why aren't there cinematographical works covering deep antiquity, specifically the 3,000 + years of Ancient Mesopotamian History (which includes Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Assyria, Elan, Mitanni, Media, and Urartur)?
It's a good question, maybe its the architecture which is hard to replicate for films. Most historical shows end up placed in the medieval and later periods because those buildings still exist
@@amnesia9231 Indeed, there remain few edifices one might use for an era so long past... Yet, the Babylonian Ishtar gate still exists within the Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_Gate#/media/File:Pergamonmuseum_Ishtartor_05.jpg
Super! Disagree with the rating :) But you guys will dig these too : Roman Empire ( commodus, caesar, caligula) & Rise of Ottoman ( Constantinople & Vlad) and a special mention for all the Viking heads - "Norseman" !
Fun list! Fair warning about Barbarians S2....the scripts were so bad the Historical Advisors actually quit. They just walked away from Netflix money, it was THAT disrespectful to history.
@@Uzair_Of_Babylon465 I enjoyed it. Very Good. Not European though, so a lot of folks won't watch it. Silly them. If you don't mind subtitles or dubbed series, try Kdrama historical series. Mr. Sunshine is the best thing ever done in the genre, IMHO.
The King is awesome, once you get past the hokey beginning. The ending fight scene is relatively factual fit for a Hollywood film and they touch on a historical significant event, but do not let the audience in on it. When he tells his new French wife they will only speak English from now on in court, that broke 400 years of French as the official language in English court, dating back to William the Conquer. Apparently 300 is a movie Historians love, despite the comic book look. All Quiet on the Western Front does an excellent job of using color to tell the story and does a great job of showing the caste difference between officers and enlisted men, but the ending ruins the boot title & meaning behind the title.
Barbarians may just be "ok", but the fact they made the Romans speak in ancient latin was super cool to listen to. They were fairly accurate as well. Only issue is once again Rome is the "evil" invaders...
I agree with you all the series from turkey 🇹🇷 are one of the best,I love the Ottoman Empire and Dirilis Ertugrul Curulus Osman Megmed Bir Cihan Fatihi
Some really good choices there,get a bit annoyed that both Saxon and viking warriors are portrayed with out helmets in battle lol.prefer earlier versions of All quiet on the western front,still an excellent film though.
The last kingdom for sure is on my list. However, the last season switched to girl boss power and I dropped out. I'm happy to say I've watched all of these series. I'm surprise you didn't have the series Spartica or Blood and Sands. Those were both epics series.
What are your favorite historical epics on Netflix?
there is a film where the romans leave britain and the saxons invade not sure what its called
Spartacus.
@@alanwalker8834King Arthur.
tks
@@scadian9
Not a Netflix series but shogun has been good so far 👌
The last kingdom is probably the best show I've ever watched and seven kings must die is also really good as well
Yes! I wanted to mention the movie too but ran out of time. Thanks.
Hi did you watch the tv series the last kingdom
I live on The Wirral where the final battle takes place, I live in Thingwall (Viking for Assembly field or Parliament) which is mentioned in the film and is not far from the real site of Battle of Brunanburh 937AD which is when England was basically formed after winning the battle against Vikings Welsh, Scottish and Irish /Viking forces.
The book is good too
The last kingdom is for 12 year old girls who have a crush on guys that wear makeup.
Watch Vikings with Travis Fimmel. Adult history, content and relationships.
1. The Last Kingdom
2. All Quiet on the West Front
3. Marco Polo
4. Vikings & Vikings - Valhalla
5. The King
6. Barbarians
7. Outlaw King
Vikings Valhalla is way too full of woketard trash and Barbarians was not much better.
The Last Kingdom is 🔥but Vikings is even better in my opinion
Some may argue that viking has a higher peak but falls off after ragnar dies. The last kingdom is consistent throughout all 5 seasons.
After ragnar died, i lost interest but still finished it…
@@crashhhhhhh3068True I stopped watching after he died
The last kingdom beats Vikings

The Last Kingdom and Vikings are my two favorite. These two were so real, I was drawn into the story like a "moth" to a flame!
My top 3: Vikings, Last Kingdom, Vikings Valhalla.
I watched Last Kingdom,l fall in love with the show.l can’t get enough of it 😊😊😊
its my guilty pleasure. I mean , I know every episode Utred will say " must attack them before 'insert what ever'.
Its nearly every episode. But I still love it!

Vikings first 4 or 5 seasons are immense. Went downhill when Ragnor died.
its no viking whothout ragnar
after bjorn ironside death its just finished
Marco Polo has a place in my ❤
I still hate Netflix for abandoning it at a cliffhanger.
Shōgun reminds me of it the most.
I watch every year like s3 coming.. hoping my meaningless view may move the needle for Netflix. Yeah i know.. pathetic
I’m rewatching it now. Hate Netflix for canceling it.
Show really should have continued. I still can’t believe they just canceled it especially after thar last season. Unfortunately too late now for anyone else to pick it up either

Mehmed the conqueror ( Rise of Ottomans ) 👍👍

The best one absolutely is "The Last Kingdom" epic is understating it. Plus if you can read the books, magnificent.

Me too! One of the very best series ever for me, so disappointed it was cancelled.
@RansomMemoryAccess its mean shoe is not 100% complete
Black Sails was brilliant but not sure if it was Flix or Prime
Black Sails was great. I would love a sequel series based on Treasure Island. I think it would be great if told or filmed in the same style as Black Sails

Ike Ottoman as well
Loved frontier. Was superb.
Yes. Frontier is great. Yet another show cancelled in the middle of the story.

Last Kingdom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The King is my favorite movie. It's astoundingly good.
The last kingdom is probably the best show ever
I thought u meant new shows saw all of these before last xmas😊darned Netflix cancelled season 3 of Marco Polo 👕 my second favorite show after last kingdom😊
I am still extremely butthurt about how Netflix deprived me of Benedict Wong and Joan Chen by canceling Marco Polo.
Spot on with 1 exception, Vikings should have been #2 regardless.
Vikings is so terribly anti Norse and took so many liberties it should rank at the bottom as the least historically accurate and most unfaithful.
I know it’s satirical but I also love Norsemen because it’s based on these Viking shows. Pure comedy gold.
Barbarians(German)is best for me if there to be a third season.The new series about king Arthur is good too.
We need series about the mongols ?
Barbarias is not historically accurate. Is only “ Germanic propaganda “
Marco Polo
@@amnesia9231 I was thinking more about when they conquered a lot of europe😀
The King and Last Kingdom, best of the lot. Outlaw King was good too. Vikings started good but kinda faded and was iffy at the end.
Last Kingdom I agree Number 1
Marco Polo is the No.1 in my heart😊
The last kingdom the best and always will be❤
Thank you. Seen most of them. 'The King', was excellent. Frontier was excellent. AQOTWF was also excellent, with incredible cinematography.
