On Wednesday’s live stream with Sacha, RamZ asked, ‘is there any heroic straight white male leading roles in a current series?’ Yes, amazingly enough on Netflix. The Last Kingdom. Uhtred and King Alfred. Beocca plays a wonderful supporting role. Incredible. The series is set in early Christian England as the Saxons face the invading Danes. It’s based on “The Saxon Stories” by Bernard Cornwall. It’s an anomaly. The Last Kingdom has not gotten much publicity, so it’s a relative hidden treasure. Such a great escape from 2020.

I thought so too, until this current season had injected pornographic scenes into it on a consistent basis. And besides, it's still this strange narrative that the only hypocrites in history are the Christians, merely because we judge them by their own standards, whereas the pagans might be dirty, rough, and mean, but they aren't hypocrites. It's a weird worldview, one which is tiresome. Beocca is certainly a good character, but his main attribute is being allied with Uhtred. He even marries a Dane. The series had great potential until this season. It's starting to take a more Vikings vibe of she-warrior hoo-hah. At this point, I'd rather see quality adaptations of the Norse sagas.

It might be tiresome to you, however it a true worldview.
And today it is true more than ever.
One of the good things about this series is that no one is perfect and every character is flawed.
The historical fact that christians intermarried with Vikings and that Viking woman accompanied men in raids and participated in battles... of course very inconvenient.
Obviously the battles are not realistic... it is entertainment.

It sounds like you may have begun season three? The first episode of this season, I thought, here we go, they’re upping the ante with gore and titillation. Then the season found it’s footing in line with first two. For a modern day show on Netflix, it is a stand out for the concepts of honor, valor, loyalty, pride, heritage and a fantastical telling of this chapter of European history. I’m encouraged to read “the Saxon Stories” and see how the writings compare to screen adaptation.

@Hanno the show literally has a pregnant shield maiden, running around killing men. Yes. That is a bit too far fetched. It seems you took my comment about a television show quite personally... And to have Beocca be there Christian character we sympathize with most, who goes against Christian teaching and marries a pagan - it provides a false outlook, that religions are equal. We also sympathize with Alfred's daughter in the new season, who is off having sexual encounters with someone other than her spouse. It's an intriguing story line, and compared with the filth we usually get to look at, I think a very good option for entertainment. But, like I said -- this new season left a lot to be desired. Maybe I'm a stiff. I guess we won't watch movies together.

@CarriePCox we started season 4, and really weren't happy with how it was progressing. Season 3 started rough, but turned around, I agree. And in general I do agree, it's a way better show than most. Which is probably why I'm so disappointed with where they are taking it now.

@Statuesketch
I agree on the pregnant shield maiden bit, it was a bit silly. I also disliked the unneeded sex scenes. The story does not need it.

I think I got offended by your view that your religion is better than others... you are completely entitled to that believe and I need not get offended by that.

So maybe my response was a bit personal.
