David McK (3600 KP) rated The Last Kingdom - Season 5 in TV
Sep 3, 2023 (Updated Sep 3, 2023)
Based on a 13-run series of novels by UK author Bernard Cornwell (now living in America), The Last Kingdom - both books and series - is set in and around the time of Alfred the Great and his descendants, and follows the exploits of Saxon born but Danish raised Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
Each series of the TV show adopted roughly 2 of the novels so - if memory serves - that means that this series covers the events of 'Warriors of the Storm' and 'War of the Wolf'.
For some reason, however - and unlike the earlier Sharpe series (also based on novels by Cornwell) I struggled to get into this one, taking roughly a year and a bit to watch a 10 episode series.
I'm not sure why, but it just didn't help with me.
Mores the pity.

The fact the film came about by fans backing on Kickstarter
One for fans
I might be one who actually missed the 3 TV series which were made around 9 years ago. They had a big fan base and this film was funded by the fans on the Kickstarter site. Which I assume is a first for a major film. It has all the main characters from the show from what I can tell. So there is a nostalgia angle for fans seeing the story continue years after the TV series finished. For non-fans it's just an average detective story that is lacking any real tension or suspense.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Save Me Too - Season 2 in TV
May 19, 2020
Good follow up series.
After the original @Save Me was one of the best TV shows back in 2018, everyone wanted to know if and when there would be a 2nd series. Well it's taken 2 years but here we are. A Father on a quest to rescue his daughter from child sex abusers. All the main cast are back again. It's still very interesting in reaching it's conclusion. Although not as intense or gripping as the first series. The last couple of episodes are a bit slow and some plot lines don't add much to the story. If you really want to see the conclusion of the 1st Series then definitely watch this.

Raw, cloying and close
I felt drunk watching this and not just from the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed by the characters. Amy is fantastic as always, what a treat to get her level of screen presence spread across a TV series instead of the short time a film provides.
