The film, which covers events from the final three books, was a letdown due to its rushed pacing. The first season was phenomenal, but the following seasons were merely good, with the fourth and fifth seasons being mediocre. I have been a fan of The Last Kingdom since its inception, owning and rereading all the books multiple times and rewatching the earlier seasons frequently. In my opinion, staying true to the source material would be the key to success. Perhaps they could explore the story of Uhtred's son or draw inspiration from the book series. I think it would be beneficial for them to do one more season and focus on getting it right. Overall, I was disappointed with the final season, but not entirely surprised. Although there were some interesting plot twists, the overall flow of the season felt disjointed. I've always admired the character of Uhtred because of his intelligence, but I found some of his decisions in this season to be frustratingly foolish. Furthermore, the transition from the last episode to the finale could have been smoother. It would have been nice for the writers to make a firm decision instead of leaving it open-ended. Without giving away any spoilers, I also found the ending to be unsatisfying. It's disappointing to see these kinds of decisions being made. Additionally, the character Aethelstan felt out of place compared to his portrayal in season 5, almost as if the writers were forcing him into the story. It seems like every show nowadays feels the need to include LGBTQ+ relationships, even if it doesn't fit the narrative.
