The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die (2022)

Movie Rating
There was 13 novels in the full Bernard Cornwell series of the same name.

5 TV series.

Each adopting roughly 2 novels.

So that meant there was 3 left unadapted when said series was cancelled ('The Flame Bearer', 'Sword of Kings' and 'War Lord'), with Netflix instead developing a movie instead of series to finish off the story.

Which, I have to say, does feel a bit rushed, with some noticeable absences (not even mentioned in passing) and, whilst watching, and with what seems a rushed finale.

I also have to say that Uhtred, here, still looks a lot younger than he was portrayed in the novels (especially by this point) and I don't remember *that* ending happening, either!

TV Show Rating
Unforgotten is a superb TV show with fantastic plots and wonderful actors. Each weeks' episode leaves you begging for the next one. As the two detectives try to solve a murder from a bygone era it's great to reminisce about the past as well as the present day. I'm ecstatic to hear that there will be a Series 4.

Twin Peaks
1990 | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery, Thriller

"OK, Twin Peaks, which isn’t a film, but a TV series. Again, I watched that as a kid, and I just thought it was so weird and wonderful and scary. I just didn’t get it, but I loved the music. It was so, sort of, haunting. I’m putting everything from literally the age of eight to about 12."

The last novel of author Paul Torday is practically a script for the TV series "Criminal Minds" but with an unusual twist. (What a shame we won't have any more of his books in the future.)
