>are the first three good?
Yes. Then four is kind of a lame rehash with a feminist bent, then 5th season has inexplicable Blacks so I never watched that one.
>I want to grind as Uhtred and retake Bebbanbah maybe there's a warband mod in england
There is the DLC called the Viking Conquest, it's time frame is about the same as the TV series.
Not really. They’re very different so it would take a while, plus I barely remember the series. All the characters are miscast and analgamated or omitted. His beliefs aren’t expounded. His entire childhood is condensed. Worst casting is father beocca, who is supposed to be a ginger with a club foot and maybe a withered hand - he’s supposed to be recognisable from a distance. That’ll do. Read the books. The quality fades a bit towards the end, or my enjoyment dropped. The first six are brilliant though.
Side characters are polite suggestions that disappear between books. Uthraed is a big guy that loses half his hand at some point becoming Uthraed 'half hand.' He also has a cool wolf shaped helmet. He is elected king of Mercia because suddenly his mother was a Mercian princess. He gets wiser as books progress. He's also extremely old by the time of the more recent books.
I believe he is in his late 60s at the end of the last book? Well, of course the entire series is supposed to be Uthred at age 95 or so retelling the story of his life, long after all the principal players are dead and gone. But I think that the main plotline ends with him close to 70 and married to some poor young girl who is scared shitless by him.
Also I forgot about the half-hand thing. When did that happen ?
I'm planning to read the books. Care to name some differences to the show?
The book series is wonderful, anon. Somewhere halfway through the series Uthred is nearing 50 and he is losing his former edge as a swordsman. He faces one dude who is clearly just straight up the better swordsman and Uthred realizes that he can't beat him on skill alone. So he just skewers himself on the enemy's sword so he can tackle him to the ground and literally saw his fricking head off.
After that, he LITERALLY spends an entire book being wounded, just complaining about everything, being barely able to move, and constantly leaking stinking pus from his chestwound. He then uses the noxious odour to intimidate his political enemies, its fricking great lmao
Pretty sure he's already supposedly in his mid-50s by season 4
Pretty funny in a cheesy way that he looks almost the same well after characters who were small children earlier in the show are adults
A show that deteriorates as fast as the muddled accent of the lead actor. Seriously, he sounds mentally challenged by the last couple of seasons. I genuinely stopped watching for mainly this reason (also because it just became boring as shit)
you mean how Aethelflaed charges in yelling "yyyyaaas kweeeeeeeeen" and saves the day? Which isn't even accurate to the book, where she isn't present, and Edward loses the battle, but the revolt collapses because Uthred kills Ethelwold during the battle.
No thank you.
Unwashed people in fantasy tier costumes intriguing, romancing and fighting generic battles in a PG-13 manner.
Its almost comical how they butchered the books, including the main character which was redrawn from being a self-interested but somewhat reformed rogue to a preaching mary sue white knight.
I stopped watching after Season 2
I already know the EXACT direction it will take and i do not intend to see the Æthelflæd warrior queen arc happen
I mean, the show literally reveals her character training with a sword, how much less subtle can you get?
Its still not goyslop because its not just "muh vikangz"
I'd like to know too. Somehow I never noticed his accent but in the latter half of season 3 he starts sounding so weird and out of place.
It's like his actor was trying so sound like a bong and then gave up
A show so bad it makes Vikings looks good. Hammed performances from literally every single actor, embarrassing dialogue, and a main character so embarrassingly written as self-insert that every scene with him is unwatchable. Just watch Vikings if you want something similar
If you can look past all the eyeliner, side cuts and dreads and grime and biker leather vests, bad acting and moronic horrible accents, then sure I guess
I’ve never watched either show, anon. I just scrolled by and saw you say the ONLY difference between them is one has source material by a veteran author. That’s like saying the ONLY difference between these two boats is that this one has a rudder.
Vikings at least had a few redeemable moments in the early seasons, but then it's also 8 and 9 years ago since I watched them. TLK has literally none, and its acting is somehow even worse. The only scene I thought was even remotely interesting was that spear catch and throw at some point, but on rewatch, it's not even written as some impossible moment of divine intervention as I thought, it's just Uhtred being cringe mary sue
Alfred reams Utreds ass by imprisoning him or betraying him or some shit.
Utred escapes and comes back for more.
Alfred reams him again, harder.
Utred comes back for more.
Repeat until Alfred dies.
Alfreds son takes the crown.
Alfreds son reams Utreds ass.
Repeat until end.
Great fun show though if you dont think too hard about it
Three good season then two not so good seasons.
are the first three good?
>are the first three good?
Yes. Then four is kind of a lame rehash with a feminist bent, then 5th season has inexplicable Blacks so I never watched that one.
>inexplicable
Netflix israelitery is very explicable
No, watch vikings instead
Viking Sharpe

Son of Arseling. Lord of arselingburg

Top tier waifu. Shame abouth those tiddies
What about them?
They were beautiful but in the end they betrayed and killed her.

No, he's not. You can check the cast on IMDB.
My Queen.

Yes? Didn't you watch the show lmaaao
I mean when the cameras are off. Did he bebban her burg?
No they're both married pos broken morals
What was her problem?
moron didn't see anything coming
What is she thinking about?
Big Saxon wiener
holy shit, she was a terrible fricking actress. took me out of the scene every damn time.
She was pretty annoying and got what she deserved.
yeah loved seeing her drown to death, just wish it happened earlier. besides her, season 3 was kino.
am i literally the only person who thought she was hot and a kino character?
She made my penis the big penis solely because of the "I know I shouldn't put my dick in it HOWEVER" factor

Good job lad.
I want to grind as Uhtred and retake Bebbanbah maybe there's a warband mod in england
>I want to grind as Uhtred and retake Bebbanbah maybe there's a warband mod in england

It's literally perfect for that feeling.
Very nice
It's great. Even my GF liked it. There is a movie coming out next year or so as a series finale.
A poor adaption of a fantastic series of books.

I will now read your books.
You will not regret it, anon, Uthred is the most based man in all the land. And there are lots of other great characters in there as well.
DESTINY

AAAAAAAHWAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAEYEYEEEEEEEAAAAAHH
It's kind of jarring how Uhtred's supposed to be in his 50s at least by the 5th season
Pretty sure he's already supposedly in his mid-50s by season 4
Pretty funny in a cheesy way that he looks almost the same well after characters who were small children earlier in the show are adults
they should at least have given him a greying wig or something
Yeah it's weird how nobody seems to age once they're an adult
A show that deteriorates as fast as the muddled accent of the lead actor. Seriously, he sounds mentally challenged by the last couple of seasons. I genuinely stopped watching for mainly this reason (also because it just became boring as shit)
It just wasn't the same without him.
Loved every scene he was in. Such a fun character and a great actor.
Vikings tier moronic shit, and ugly as hell, everything in this show looks like fricking puke
>it's an Uhtred acts like a moron and has to make a deal greatly in the other person's favour to get out of a bad situation episode
Is that Loadsamoney?
Which girl would you hump?
Hild is best girl.
Too good of a woman for God alone.
Bottom left, but my heart is with Aethelfled
Amazingly, not a single one.
These are 10/10 in Bongland

Top right is a scandi, though.
That the yellow teeths in the UK think is a 10/10.

Funny how as the show's writing becomes shittier and more feminist, the women being cast for roles also become uglier.
What was Skorpa's problem?
He just got a little ahead of himself.
His teeth
>What am I in for?
Female empowerment
Pro-tip, stop when Alfred the Great dies, it is a shitshow after it.
The final few episodes of season 3 were kino of the highest order.
you mean how Aethelflaed charges in yelling "yyyyaaas kweeeeeeeeen" and saves the day? Which isn't even accurate to the book, where she isn't present, and Edward loses the battle, but the revolt collapses because Uthred kills Ethelwold during the battle.
No thank you.
That was *the* perfect way to end that episode
incredible intro scene.
good series.

>preaching mary sue white knight
You just described me, guess that's why I liked the show so much
I just wish they did a show during King Offa's reign without FRICKING VIKING GOYSLOP
I miss him.
Millie Brady is my bongfu
Hild is smol.
1 mogs them all
(No i do not remember who any of these actors are, their characters or anything else)
>the one on the right
Damn, is it really her?
Yes
Hairstyles do a lot for a person's looks
She lost weight
Aethelflaed a cute
God I love women

What happened to him?
>converted to Christianity
>faded into history
A shame because he was cool
I stopped watching after Season 2

I mean, the show literally reveals her character training with a sword, how much less subtle can you get?

Same author as Sharpe.
Uhtred and Sharpe would probably get along.
Seriously? That guy is a kino machine.
Be honest with me bros, will the movie be good?
>Netflix
What do you think?
The first 2 seasons were a BBC production. I think Netflix took over during season 3.
baby monk is so cute, I'm not ready to see him go. currently on season 4.
He's hot, look at his chin, his smiles
>Anglo-Saxon history is full kino from start to finish
>Only Vikang Age content is given the spotlight
Yeh it fricking sucks
why does he have a curry accent?
I'd like to know too. Somehow I never noticed his accent but in the latter half of season 3 he starts sounding so weird and out of place.
It's like his actor was trying so sound like a bong and then gave up
it's what happens when a german actor puts on a scandi accent and a bong accent at the same time
He said he was voice coached to have a mix between English and Danish accent.
>A feature-length sequel, titled Seven Kings Must Die, has been filmed for Netflix
First I've heard of that.
Its her!
the webm woman... i missed her, thank you anon 🙂
>Winter King tv adaption in the works
>chances are it will complete dogshit
Cool, thanks
Kino helmet.
The Ck2 mod based on those books and that period is great.

Quick! Everybody do your best intro song impression.

OOOO HOOO OOOOOO EEEE IAAA EEEE
OOO HOOOOOOO HOOOOOO OOOOOO EYAEEEEEEEEYAE
The soundtrack is pretty good. Nice Faroese singer.
The full length intro song is very nice.
Nice.
Vilhjálmsdóttir is my football waifu.
>mfw no wholesome farmhand saxon gf to marty and start a family with
I was born too late
Tell me about Saxon girls. Why do they have the Autism?
>that episode where Uhtred's friends recover him from the slave ship
Now this is bonds kino
This show was semi interesting first season but when you start season 2 you quickly realise it's written for and probably by women.
>its an Uthred acts like a hotheaded moron and ruins everything episode
That's the whole show.
A show so bad it makes Vikings looks good. Hammed performances from literally every single actor, embarrassing dialogue, and a main character so embarrassingly written as self-insert that every scene with him is unwatchable. Just watch Vikings if you want something similar
Vikings is terrible and TLK is superior.
The only thing TLK has over Vikings is that it has a series of books by a veteran author to follow, otherwise they might be the same fricking show
That seems significant.
If you can look past all the eyeliner, side cuts and dreads and grime and biker leather vests, bad acting and moronic horrible accents, then sure I guess
I’ve never watched either show, anon. I just scrolled by and saw you say the ONLY difference between them is one has source material by a veteran author. That’s like saying the ONLY difference between these two boats is that this one has a rudder.
>rudder
Ya mudda

No I hear vikings was better than this, seems okay ngl just began watching
There were some viking threads on here unless that was another time.
>it's an Alfred offers Uhtred a deal episode
never heard of this shit and ive probably even seen it
luv brown-haired women
luv England
Praise be to Alfred the Great
Post more saxonfus bros
There's a frick ton of destiny in it. Also, King Alfred is the best part of the series.
Who has the shittiest haircut in all the kingdoms?
Uhtreds hair cut, young uthred, edwards second son
Alfred reams Utreds ass by imprisoning him or betraying him or some shit.
Utred escapes and comes back for more.
Alfred reams him again, harder.
Utred comes back for more.
Repeat until Alfred dies.
Alfreds son takes the crown.
Alfreds son reams Utreds ass.
Repeat until end.
Great fun show though if you dont think too hard about it
