Now this is what a finale must feel like for these kind of genres.

It all about acheiving your ultimate dream but it all depends on the cost that one must pay to fulfill that dream. Uthred faced a similar fate.

He is now a true Lord and Bebbanburg is now under his rule and only his. But look at the price he had to pay. He lost his lovely wife, his childhood friend, his estemmed warrior Leofric, Alfred whom he considered his King, his lover Aetheflaed who died in his arms, Father Beoca who was like a father figure to him. And adding to his mysery, his eldest son was castreted thus ending his fatherly bloodline.

If you consider the ending, you shall come to relealize that whenever you set your goals, you must consider the endless sacrifices and compromises that you will have to make. This show just portrayed this life lesson in the perfect way possible.

Adios Uthred. The true Lord of Bebbanburg.

I wish I could give this show 11 out of 10 because it is THAT good, every episode had me intrigued and I cared about the characters, the battle scenes were amazing and the acting was brilliant from everyone.

Alexander Dreymon is a brilliant actor and played Uhtred perfectly, then there is Millie Brady who was stunning and so good as Aethelflaed, I cried when her character died, and to the other characters, Sihtric, Finan, Osferth, Brida and Haesten who were all fantastic.

Thank you to all involved in making this amazing show, my only complaint is that it had to end.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD: Only Spartacus finale is better. Uthred comes full circle and achieves his life long ambition in an action packed, suspense filled and emotionally fueled episode. Throughout the season most of the cast have shined giving stellar performances; none more so than Uthred and a surprisingly likable Aileswith who was once a hated character. She proves what Alfred saw in her as a wise, loyal strong woman and is now one of Uthred's most loyal supporters. Even Haesten came through at the end at the cost of his own life. An emotion crammed season as several major characters saw their end; some very surprising. Always a joy to see Sithric and Finan as the most dependable and loyal of men. Almost heartrending to see Bebanburg nearly come to an end only to have rain come down and save it at the last moment.

The cliff dropping scene while not new was as suspenseful as you can get. If you look closely Edward was in the penultimate row before the push off was routed. The final scene with Uthred as he reminisces is exactly what I was hoping to see. Dreymon put it all into this season and his Uthred can now stand proudly next to Spartacus, Ragnar, Lagertha and Jon Snow as the greatest characters in a medieval type show. Many shows falter in their last season but here TLK made it its best. Well done!!!

I remember finding and watching the first season, fingers crossed there'd be a second season, each year that would happen. I'm heartbroken it's over but what a ride! This really was the perfect ending, the ultimate battle, the fire at Bebbanburg, the memories of all the characters it took to get here. Bravo to all the actors and the amazing crew, I can't imagine the work they put into this, I'm sure it was literal blood, sweat and tears. I'm excited for the movie, I hope it gives the entire series a beautiful polish. Utred son of Utred finally takes Bebbanburg.

I was, guess I still am a big fan of Last Kingdom. But I do not get the praise (9,6!) for the final episode.

Instead of a grande finale you get a completely ridiculous battle (the stand off at the cliff was the most unrealistic, actually laughable moment of the whole show) and a sloppily written Hollywood happy end that is totally unfitting to the rest of the series.

The magic (god sent) that magically extinguishes the fire that would otherwise destroy his fortress, numerous occasions where uthred should have been easily spotted or easily killed, nothing makes sense, nothing follows at least a minimum amount of logic or character consistency.

I was seriously disappointed.

What a series finale, indeed!

First of all: Congratulations to all the cast members, writers, producers, directors. Everybody involved in the making of this proyect. It has been a wonderful ride for TLK fandom. An absolutley success in every way.

As for the final season itself, it was nicely pulled off for all the main characters, a little bit sad for the most but none of them felt out of place.

And what to say about Uthred, finally where he belongs, getting back his birth right. That was the perfect ending no doubt.

A fitting closure for an epic medieval saga. 10/10.

To say Uhtred was a fictional character Alexander Dreymon brought this character to life in The Last Kingdom Tv Series. Following the story from the beginning to end, it feels like there was a great warrior lord who was honourable and good, fighting for what he believed in, for honour, his birth right, survival, love and freedom. A brilliantly well written story by Bernard Cornwell. Hats off to the tv series cast and crew for portraying the characters so well on screen. One of my favourite and most highly rated tv series. It is sad to watch the last of The Last Kingdom tv series but also looking forward to see more of The Last Kingdom movies and hoping to see more of The Last Kingdom spin offs. Destiny is all!

The Last Kingdom is based in a 12 book romance by Bernard Cornwell. Season 1 to 4 took 2 books each, and I loved each season (watched all of them 4 times). Then, season 5 had to find a way to clench the last 4 books. I can understand the struggle to show everything in half the time, and I was expecting this season to be GOT's last seasons like. I think knowing this at least prevented the disappointment. It wasn't a good season. By far worse than the previous ones. Everything was rushed, so much fast travel, Brida. It had some moments of tension and of emotion, which was good, great acting by Alexander Dreymon as always, but overall, I'd not recommend and would not watch again.
