Netflix strikes again
19 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After a nearly perfect 5 season stretch the story of Lord Uhtred comes to an end. I've been waiting for this since they first announced it but now that I've seen it, I'm left disappointed. The pacing moves at breakneck speed and doesn't allow the story to really take hold like the show did. There's almost no detail or explanation given on seemingly major plot points and it just felt rushed and off. I don't have a problem with the story at all. I just wish they would've broken the final books up instead of trying to cram everything into a movie just shy of 2 hours. It just felt like a slap in the face to the story and fans. Netflix should have let them finish off the last 3 books like they intended to. The smaller, intimate details are what made each season so good. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this.
