Although quite old at this time (must have been in his late 60s even if he looks like early 40s) Uthred must fight another battle in the forging of England. So instead of making one more season of The Last Kingdom they decided to go with a roughly 2 hours movie. Which was OK. Certainly, this had little to do with history, as it was only loosely based on real people and events. It's also quite different than the Saxon Stories books but it's also loosely based on it. I no longer have hope of finding a historical movie being historical accurate. So I had no expectations from this movie and therefore no disappointments. Except for the fact that they made Æthelstan, who was one of the most pious West Saxon kings, gay. But that's expected from Netflix.
