The Last Kingdom is criminally underrated
Terrible story telling
@@Kia_006 why do you think so?
@@ORCMONGOL
Along the way I got the feeling that sometimes the creators didn't plan through following events and it was a spare moment thing.
@@Kia_006 it's more of they have to compress 2-3 books into 10 episodes, so build ups are often sacrificed for fitting the storyline
Facts.
The pace of The Last Kingdom is crazy, so much happens each episode feels like a full season.
Yeah the skip so much form the books.
@@kjellduteweert9262 yeah including the fact that uhtred ages 😂
@@kjellduteweert9262 Yeah they went full woke season 5 and the Movie went full gaytard
But in last Kingdom ragnar death is different,why can someone explain me
@@rajkumarvyas8507 The Last Kingdom and Vikings don't share the same universe. Although they both used the same real-life historical figures/legends such as Ragnar, Ubba, Alfred, ... but in different directions and with different actors.
The pace of the Last Kingdom is pretty spectacular. So much happens every episode and they dont drag it out. Definitely #1 in this genre
Even tho I love vikings it fell apart after Ragnar's death and became very inconsistent. But The Last Kingdom is easily the greatest tv show in this genre hands down. Amazing storytelling from start to end and not a single boring moment.
💯
Its mad to me that the BBC cancelled the last kingdom after 2 seasons. Especially considering the amount of crappy tv shows that have run for years on the BBC. Thank God netflix picked it up, and brought it to a wider audience as i dont think many people even knew the show existed before Netflix picked it up.
مسلسل الفايكنغ بالنسبة لى انتهى بموت راجنر
Bernard Cornwell is a genius. I love his books. And the BBC tv show is indeed amazing.
@@nicobrady1596 I started watching it and finished every seasons in 3days. It is something you can’t stop watching till you finish it
The Last Kingdom is absolutely #1. No doubt.
I gave it 2 and a bit seasons but I really couldn't get into it, unlike Vikings and Marco Polo where I eagerly awaited every week for the next episode.
nah
I agree
For real it’s awesome
Its amazing but nothing beats vikings s1-4 imo
The Last Kingdom is the best. I loved all the books and the series was so well done. I absolutely can't wait for the movie to come out!!
Whoa there’s a movie? 🤦🏽♀️How did I miss this? Thank you for your comment.
@@lunamequa you're welcome! It's called Seven Kings Must Die and it's coming out either by the end of this year or early next year 😊
I haven't finished the series yet, is it a spin off or it will somewhat continue the series ending?
@@Lucas11061 continue
I wish they would carry on with the series since there are still 3-4 books of story they haven't filmed. That and Poldark. Don't start filming a book series if you're only gonna film half of it. :/
The last Kingdom was a master piece of storytelling and acting in every episode right to the end. Vikings a close 2nd only because I didn't think much of the last season.
Vikings is number 1
@@JJK1ng_ out of theses yes totally agree Vikings after GOT 👍
I agree with Last Kingdom!!! Took me years to get past the first 10 minutes or so but once I did💥
Vikings season 5 was the worst, but season 6 was decent to me. I agree though, it's #2 behind the last kingdom
The Last Kingdom is by far my favorite.
Having followed the EXCELLENT The Last Kingdom series of books over the past decade, I loved the series and feel it is a wonderful adaptation. That isn’t easy to do, but they certainly pulled it off!
Thank you for this video.
10. Knightfall
9. The White Princess
8. Robin Hood - What a callback! It was just too short. 🥺

YOU GUYS MUST WATCH THE WHITE PRINCESS, ITS SO REALLY REALLY WORTH IT
Bhai game of thrones and Spartacus bhul gye
White princess is amazing
I haven’t seen the others but I have seen Vikings and the last kingdom. The last kingdom is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. Watch it and you will love it.
Vikings >
I couldn't finish it after lady Aethelfaed died
She was my favorite....I think that was season 5 episode 4💔
@@sibusisonhlapo4428 How could you not watch the ending?? It was Uhtred's show and ended beautifully unlike GOT and Vikings.
@@JJK1ng_ Say someone who haven't watch The last kingdom
@@fellino8049 i have and vikings is better.... Ragnar > the last kingdom
Dropped vikings after ragnar died and watched the last kingdom to fill in the hole, I'm glad I did that.
The Last Kingdom and The Pillars of the Earth are my favorite
Then you must definitely watch Vikings
They changed things from the book just because and made the story less compelling.
Vikings and The Last Kingdom are some of the greats. With 5-6 seasons each, it's beautiful and you'll fall in love with it easily. Witcher will reach those levels soon, as it only has 2 seasons out now.
The King of All shows remains the Game of Thrones.
Game of thrones was magnificent from season 1 to 4. After that it went downhill and season 7-8 were awful.
agreed they are the best. I tried knightfall it sucked, im sure most of these sucked. Vikings, Last Kingdom, Spartacus Blood and sand are best
Witcher is shite
ùuuuu'uuuuuuuuuuu'y
The Witcher wasnt that good , because of the game to compare to .
The last Kingdom is by far the best.
#TheLastKingdom should be no.1. Such a great storytelling, character development , no filler episodes, amazing action sequences, truly beautiful acted, written, directed. Vikings became absolutely ridiculous and dumb for its last seasons
season 1 was garbage. started out ok and got progressively dumber every scene.
Stupidest take ever 😭
The White Princess, White Queen and Spanish Princess are all series based on books by Philippa Gregory (who also wrote the book that the film "The Other Boleyn Girl" is based on) and each series is a continuation of the story about England's history.
Chronologically you should watch The White Queen first, then The White Princess and then The Spanish Princess.
I do hope Starz will adapt the other books.
Is it good though
No Tudors after???
@@sibusisonhlapo4428 I was a big fan of the White Queen and its cast, the White Princess was kind of meh, and the Spanish Princess was alright. I would definitely recommend the White Queen.
@@MehIgotnothing ok thanks because I already did watch white princess last week and I finished it, it is not that bad and the cast too. thank you for recommending white Queen I will check it out
@@MehIgotnothing , it's not fiction, maybe that's why white princess is Lil muh
I'd add: Borgia (not the Borgias) and Medici, also mention The Tudors.
Fully agree. love all three of them.
None of those are medieval though.
@@NLDlover As they mentioned the Spanish Princess, Henry Tudor's first wife, I took it as a reference of time. Cheers!
@@AlexKidd75 You are right : CommuniTV made a mistake by including "The Spanish Princess", which deals with Catherine of Aragon and Henry Tudor, at the Renaissance times. Borgia is clearly Renaissance as well. "Medici" could have been on the list, since it started at the end of the XIVth century. But, well, for some historians, Renaissance started in Italy earlier than in the rest of Europe ;-)
The tudors is one my fav medieval tv series, i really dont understand why it isn't on this list. Vikings is full of ahistorical nonsense, it is more af fantasy show than an medieval based tv show. Tha last Kingdom is way better potrayal of the Vikings if you ask me.
The Last Kingdom is definitely my favourite. But I would put on this list Robin of Sherwood (1983-86) too - the best tv adaptation of legendary Robin Hood in my opinion.
I've not seen the "Hollow Crown" but I'll make my own list : 1) Marco Polo, 2) The name of the rose, 3) The last kingdom, 4) Vikings, 5) The white queen, 6) Camelot, 7) Pillars of the earth, 8) El Cid, 9) Knightfall, 10)The white princess.
I would add "Kaamelott" (the French TV show) "and Merlin" (both comedies that get a darker tone towards the end). And also "La catedral del mar" and its sequel "Los herederos de la tierra". They're two really amazing Spanish mini-series !
As for your list, I'm a huge fan of "The last kingdom" and "The Pillars of the Earth" ^^
Isabel, La Catedral del Mar, Los Herederos de la Tierra
The White Queen, Vikings and The Last Kingdom. All absolutely brilliant!
The last kingdom saved me from boredom and fear of not able to watch anything like GOT anymore. Its love😍
You should try Medici, it has Richard Madden in its first season and also as a producer, it has 3 seasons, i think if u like stuff from renaissance period, u will probably like it
@@TheAkki1610 i watched so many. Which many of these creators Don't even know lol. I was just checking the video to see if i get something new out of it but i watched it all. 🤦
@@shasha0076 Same, i have watched most of the stuff mentioned here, but if u have watched Medici, its great to know :)
Me too but after the death of Lady Aethelfaed I couldn't finish it 😭😭 I hope I will finish it one day
@@sibusisonhlapo4428 you have like 5 episodes left. Finish the damn show
Marco Polo is underrated,unfortunately cancelled by Netflix after second season😢
they had to cancel, they lost 200 mil $
Marco Polo is not historical drama but fantasy. If you want see real good story watch Marco Polo 1981.
Cancelled cos it was just S...
that kung fu crap shit ruined the serie.
I couldn't make it past about 10 minutes
Resurrection of Ertugrul is underrated. I watched it . I enjoy a lot
yep great show
Watch Destan it’s another Turkish series
The last kindgdom based on the Saxon stories and Marco Polo are my fav on this list…but my favorite historical show is Rome by HBO though it’s not a medieval show…Norsemen is hilarious and is up there as a top notch show
The Last Kingdom must be over Vikings, because it is much more accurate historically. Vikings has some big historical mistakes, and in the last few seasons, while they were emotional, the plot got kind of boring. Instead, The Last Kingdom, always had a good story, from the beginning to the end
Idk the season with skade was shit
@@VivaLaZach Besides Skade's plot, a bit different from the books, i think it was a great season, very emotional
I agree thats how heroes should be
Vikings replaced Someone historically with a girl that says enough about that I heard it was good though at first Atleast if ur talking about that one
Vikings traded off historical accuracy for a tv show. If I wanted history lesson I'll just watch a documentary. Vikings seasons 2-4 were peak and better than the last kingdom ever was.
I have seen almost everything in the list the best is Vikings and second the last Kingdom (i am utred utred of bebanberg)
the last kingdom is amazing
@@robin-38- Indeed after the fellowship of the ring in lord of the rings utred and his fellowship is remarkable and rare.
i love vikings and the last kingdom
I've watched them twice and will be going on three this winter.
Ive seen them both too many times to count at this point. Both are great
The Last Kingdom is my #1 tbh
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very great job both the white queen and the white princess are two great epic tv shows
Loved the last kingdom, seen it 3 times.
Besides GOT, TLK and Vikings are definitely amazing and must watch...Uhtred is def worth watching
The Tudors;
Borgias;
Rise of Empires: Ottoman are also titles worth mentioning.
I Love Period Dramas n have stumbled upon The Last Kingdom.. I Am Currently watchin' it.. I Absolutely Adore It!!💕😻💪
The Spanish Princess
World Without End
Knightfall
The White Princess
Ronin Hood
Norsemen
The White Queen
The pillows of earth
Marco Polo
The Hollow Crown
The Last Kingdom
Viking
Totally agree with #1 and #2, Marco Polo could be put on #3
I am not sure The White Princess and The Spanish Princess can be called as Medieval TV series, as the last episode of The White Queen ends the Medieval period in England.
The Castilian-Aragonese Princess is clearly not medieval, but even so, there was no Spain at the time.
Viking is my most favorite show ever ... I love this one more then Games of thrones and House of the dragon... I've watched this show 23 times in 6 month... But never get bored . It's like an addiction to me 😴
Last kingdom 1 and Vikings 2 imo!
The last kingdom is the best.
Marco Polo was so good and should have never been canceled.
The last kingdom ❤❤❤❤
I would put TLK above Vikings, both are great shows but TLK is one of the (very) few shows that manage to keep viewer's interest as it gets better each season, VIkings was dope for 4 seasons but 5 and 6 season were pretty meh for me due to the absence of a "certain" character. Also Marco Polo was good but too bad they cancelled it.
BRO BIG UP ❤YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
Vikings Valhall..... Legends of the seeker🎉❤
Medici is also one of best series, it is highly underrated
The Borgias, with Jeremy Irons, Francois Arnaud and Holliday Grainger was phenomenal. Vikings was a spectacular show and it looks like I'll have to give The Last Kingdom another try !
The Borgias isn't Medieval
@@drewskij2175 15th century isn't Medieval?
@@Ardunafeth 14-17th century is the Renaissance, especially in what is now Italy
@@drewskij2175 And 5th-15th century is the Middle Ages. Ergo a series taking place during the 15th century takes place during both renaissance and the Middle Ages
First of all thank you for the video! I have just one issue: when I see all these tops, I have the feeling that nobody has watched “Medici “, a criminally underrated tv show. It’s the most accurate tv show but is also furiously entertaining with a great cast and music. One could say it’s not “medieval “ but as you include tv shows that take place after (white princesse, Spanish princess), I put the word here.
Last kingdom is should be first😤😤😤
Viking and last kingdom both my fav
The Hollow Crown is an absolute masterpiece with a complete who's who of British acting greats. Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard III was a complete masterclass of a performance, how he was not lauded with awards is beyond me
The Last Kingdom is my favorite historical series. The thing that places it above other shows for me is the complexities of Uhtred's upbringing, moral compass, stolen birthright, love life and how he develops bonds with both Christians and Danes throughout his life. The bonds he creates amid the warring differences between these people make him a truly tortured soul at times and his struggle with it drives the show. He's one of the best written, most interesting and captivating characters I've seen and Alexander Dreymon is absolute eye candy. It is an absolute must watch for lovers of this genre with Vikings solidly coming in behind it.
The last kingdom ❤️
It is pity 😕 that the best empire at medieval times ( Byzantium) has not had moove or series.
I agree. There would be a great show to create on the Komnenos family !
There's some Byzantines in Ertugrul but they are mostly villains.
Pillars has a fantastic ensemble of actors.
I would add Kingdom, the Korean zombie period series. Great stuff!
👍🏼 for Norsemen. Such a great comedy series
Vikings Music, scenery and brutality matches perfect with the theme and is unmatched by other shows. The characters grow into you and the fact they spoke old Norse and adressed the mythology is the cherry on top.
Vikings was fabulous. Legatha was my favorite character
Certainly hot.
Forgot to add another masterpiece this Medici series is awesome
I think the last kingdom is a superb show but the vikings is up their with game of thrones and a must watch any jodie comer fans should give the white princess a look I found it a good show and worth a watch.
How about "the white queen"
I would add Merlin too. Superb serial
Yup cool show
Great list!!! Vikings was soooooo BAD ASS! 🤜🏽🔥
No mention of the brilliant The Borgias with Jeremy irons or north and South Mrs Gaskell version. A must see if you love historical dramas
The Borgias are Renaissance.
@@heliedecastanet1882 Renaissance took place during the Middle Ages...
@@Ardunafeth Of course, you can find tracks of the Renaissance back to the XIV° century in Italy, that is true. But it is rather what you can call harbingers, and they mostly concern arts.
In the classical way of dividing the different political and social periods of History, the Middle Ages ends at the end of the XV° century (1492), and then the Renaissance starts.
@@heliedecastanet1882 . Renaissance was a term coined in Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries. This is the the time of Dante, Petrarch, Da Vinci, Macchhiavelli, the De medici's, Florence at it's peak, the great artists, etc. The renaissance is an integral part of the Middle Ages and in no way started áfter the middle ages..
@@Ardunafeth Yes, as I wrote, you are speaking about art, and Italy. And I totally agree with you. Dante and Giotto, and Simone Martini before Dante, and maybe if you want Duccio.
But I was referring to the traditional divisions of global History and all Europe, not only Italy : Antiquity starts with the invention of writing and ends with the fall of Rome ; Middle Ages starts with the fall of Rome and ends with the discovery of America ; Renaissance starts earlier in Italy, but covers all Europe in the XVI° century, and is the begining of what is called the Modern times.
All those divisions are totally arbitrary, we both know. I am not saying they are right. But I use them as a general convention, that's all.
And if I wrote that Borgias were Renaissance, it is just because, despite the early renaissance of arts in the trecento and quattrocento, the forms of governments in most of Italian cities remained medieval till the XV° century, after which most of them collapsed, replaced by big kingdoms, dukedoms, etc… Look at a map of Italy in the XIII° century, then a map of Italy in the middle of the XVI° century, and you will understand what I mean.
Have a good evening, and I wish you the best.
Bye
Well for top 10 medieval , was thinking it would be "from all over the world" in different languages. If that is taken into account then there are many from Asia too that may take you by surprise.
I loved vikings and its because of vikings that it took me a long time to get to the last kingdom but after watching both more then once I like the last kingdom better
La Peste should be on this list. Absolutely fantastic. Best period drama ever in terms of raw attention to detail.
I also loved Cathederal By The Sea.
Depends on your cut-off for the Medieval period is, the list includes Henry VII's time but is Henry VIII still considered valid? If so, The Tudors has to be high up on the list, absolutely fantastic show.
@@aragorniielessar1894 True, but its pretty close, from a quick search most people say Henry VII was technically still Medieval so it literally cuts off inbetween father/son in a lot of peoples opinions
Does it get better? I watched the two first episodes but thought it was kinda boring.
@@greyman8335 I don't remember the first 2 episodes being that different to the rest of the show, if it was a while back i'd suggest trying it again, if it was recent then maybe it's just not your cup of tea.
@@greyman8335 it's boring! Medici is a much better show.
Historical speaking the white princess is officially the last queen of mideval earor then comes the golden age or explorer age.
After finishing the last kingdom, no other show of that tone has managed to compel me the way Uhtred's journey did. It is one of the most underrated shows ever and deserves more popularity! From story lines to character arcs to the pace and tone of the show. Everything keeps you on the edge of your seat and before you know it, you're either bawling your eyes out or preparing to go to war. Absolutely love the show with my whole heart and would definitely watch it all over again!
Try GOT
The White Queen was great, following the rise of Elizabeth Woodville during the Wars of the Roses. Also worth watching The White Princess and The Spanish Princess too, which were also based on Phillipa Gregory novels.
I will DEFINITELY binge watch 6 through 10, iv'e seen some episodes of Marco Polo, I need to watch more & and iv'e recently seen some clips of the Last Kingdom.
the last kingdom is the best
The Last Kingdom is definitely the number one. Besides, The Tudors shall be in this list as well.
Kind of funny how almost all those series take place in England, even though England was of rather insignificant importance in the middle ages (as opposed to the 17th century and onward). Why does it always have to be English civil war or Vikings or Crusades. It's a 1000 year time period and yet that is everything that is mainstream.
Absolutely love both The Last Kingdom and Vikings. So im not surprised they're the top two! I stopped watching Marco Polo as it got cancelled. So didn't see a point to continue watching, also really enjoyed Knightfall.
I loved The Last Kingdom!!
The Hollow Crown is great!
That list was perfectly made it
Jr Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Vikings & The Last Kingdom was series at a high level of production
I highly recommend Magnificent Century. It is a Turkish series based on the life of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Along with this, it chronicles the rise of Haseki Hurrem Sultana, Suleiman's legal wife, who is credited with being the first woman in an era known as the Sultanate of Women.
1 and 2 are perfect!
The Last Kingdom should be No. 1
what are the titles of the films playing in the opening
Well I totally agree with #1 & #2 also I really liked #6, The White Queen & I recommend it to anyone who haven't seen it yet.
I recommend to watch the white princess too
Knightfall is so underrated!!
I was ANGRY when it got canceled. My husband was actually interested in something I watched.
Philippe in the series is like this: "I'm a crybaby who starts a war just because my wife cheated on me. *sobs*". While in the real life he got rid of templars because of economic and politic reasons. This is the only reason I didn't watch the series no matter how much I admire Philippe as a king in real life.
excellent show
The last Kingdom should be #1
1:59 oh and Thorin (aka that one royal guard from Naboo in episode I)
I totally agree with your list bro.
My opinion, the last kingdom is the BEST.!!!!
The program The Last Kingdom is very very good better than all the other ones you have noted.
You forget the resurrection ERTUGRUL Turkish series
That sucks. It's so predictable
Ertuğrul sucks (I'm Turkish).
@@brin2 no it's great you suck
I've seen them all except Camelot. My faves, the Last Kingdom and Marco Polo.
UTHRED SON OF UTHRED IS THE BEST UTHRED👌👌👌👌
TLK all the way because it keeps you entertained throughout the seasons and they know when it’s time end it even though I wanted more seasons.
THE SERPENT QUEEN IS UNDERRATED CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 2🎉
u dont show Robin Hood with marian, cmon. The Last Kingdom that Alfred scene is just Amazing, the music, the words the everything. Hard to choose which one is better Vikings or The Last Kingdom but i think Vikings has more epic scenes
You should include Barbarians as well
truly one of the shows of all time
