Watched 4 episodes & rather enjoying this. I don’t think it’s to quite the same standard as The Last Kingdom and apparently the source material from 1000 years ago is patchy so some liberties are taken, but it appears to be following roughly what happened in the run up to 1066. That’s interesting because TLK ended with the rather confusing run of Saxon/Danish kings after Alfred.
It’s had mixed reviews presumably from some who took the GoT Dragon antics seriously.
Relevant in these times of flag shaggers in that they should be asked which version of Merrie Olde England they’re seeking to recreate.
Lol, wind the flagshaggers up by informing them that French was the official Court language up to and beyond Henry V and that the 1st Crusade was also largely French.
Watched all four episodes of Operation Darkphone last night, that was really quite fascinating, both from a police element and a technical one. I’d also entirely missed all the news headlines as the whole thing came to light in the first case as well somehow.
It’s a bit shit but not quite shit enough for me to stop watching. The fact that Netflix has little to offer in the way of alternatives right now doesn’t help. I think I need to cancel my membership and sign up to Apple for a few months.
