The story line flows quite well and follows the tale written by Bernard Cornwell. As with most TV adaptations of novels there are some loose ends but thesae are fairly minor and the story flows in an interesting way. There could have been some more character development, particularly of some of the key supporting characters but overall it is a well crafted storyline and has some excellent action sequences. The main character is strong and one can empathise with him. I look forward to greater development of this character and hopefully many more seasons of the tales. Overall an excellent show with superb backgrounds and sequences.

The Last Kingdom was filmed primarily in Hungary using a permanently built medieval village. Brilliant script, acting and research. It drags you right into the heart of 9th century Britain, among the clashing cultures of Celts, Saxons and Vikings. The characters are strong and compelling. The fight choreography is superb. And good to see the viking dreadlocks. Riveting stuff. Highly recommended. I've just finished watching this Series One and fortunately have all the others to hand to continue this adventure into the 9th century.
