I watched a few episodes of Knightfall and couldn't stomach it any longer. The Last Kingdom is my favourite recent medieval-themed show despite its inaccuracies. The books are good too.

I am a completionist so I am still struggling to finish Vikings Season 5 which is really slowww.
But I recall GRRM recommending and loving 'The Last Kingdom' so I will definitely give this a look when/if I finish Vikings S5.

I didn't know Season 2 already started and finished. I watched a few clips and what I saw looked better than Season 1, but as I already said, they botched the Season 1 plotline and made the King, who is supposed to be this terrible villain, far more sympathetic than Landry so when you see Landry in trouble you can't help but feel a little bit of "you deserved it" feeling.

The main character is too much of a giant jerk for me to enjoy it. He's disrespectful to those working for him, betrays the trust of those who values him, and all-in-all is a self-righteous prick. He's very hard to root for. Maybe he changed later, but so far I can't get past season 1.

And the King is presented as a reasonable guy who wants to revive his marriage and who respects Landry as a friend yet everyone betrays him. As I said, they botched the plotline.
