TV Series

Started watching The Last Kingdom over the last few days. Missus enjoys it so we've done 1 or 2 episodes a night and we'll probably watch the last episode of Series 1 tonight.

Pretty decent but the pacing seems a bit fast - significant events are kind of done with in an episode or two and you can tell the budget doesn't stretch to big battles in the first series at least and instead lines them up and then skips to the aftermath, usually an important character severely wounded...unless there's a big finale on the horizon now that Alfred's burnt the cakes and is preparing for a big showdown.

Uhtred seems to have a fair bit of plot armour as well -
Never, never fight Ubba?? Why paint a character as the ultimate big bad and then have him killed fairly easily one on one?

Still enjoying it though.
