About this show

The year is 872, and many of the separate kingdoms of what we now know as England have fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred (David Dawson, Peaky Blinders). Against this turbulent backdrop lives our hero, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon, American Horror Story). Born the son of a Saxon nobleman, he is captured by the Danes a nd raised as one of their own. Forced to choose between the country of his birth and the peopl e of his upbringing, his loyalties are ever tested. What is he? Saxon or Dane? On a quest to reclaim his birthright , Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between bot h sides if he is to play his part in the birth of a new nation and, ult imately, recapture his ancestral lands.

Adequate. I understand they cant get all the detail in from the books and have to take shortcuts, but just watching the first season and the story misses out so much that builds Uhtreds character up into the loveable rogue that kept me coming back to the books. Not sure if I will purchase the second season.

In my opinion, the books were better, but then that's how it always seems! It's maybe not as good as Vikings (what is?!), and the middle three episodes or so are fairly boring, but hanging in till the end is definitely worth it. Basically, it has bits which aren't so great, but the rest is great.
