The connection they have is what separates this show from others and what makes it amazing.

[@carltahutchinson42]

This series has some of the most handsome men all in one show. The bond between them in the story is so beautiful reminds me of the bond between the characters in The Lord of the Rings.

[@clickandoporai5707]

​@@carltahutchinson42 So true Carlta, so true! Handsome and talented! Love them all and I do hope they bring more from this friendship + Osferth + Eadith now. ❤️🤞 But I do have to read the books. :D

[@patsyrosales5569]

Just BRILLIANT!!!! I absolutely 💘 TLK. The character UHTRED. Brings such rich diversity to this AWESOME brand of storytelling that I marvel at his uniqueness. I do recognize all the contributions of each member of TLK. THEY have enriched and created a master PIECE for all times. I am so blessed to have FOLLOWED my path and began watching this AMAZING series. "DESTINY IS ALL" S5 awaits us all. Much 💙💙💙💙

[@davidmacey5422]

You feel it as soon as you walk on set. As soon as we got there Alex greeted us like friends. The family feeling was instant and though I was just in one episode series 3 I still feel a warm feeling towards the cast. Its not like that on most jobs - it really is a special bond they all have

[@LayllasLocker]

Let us be honest. Almost every cast has that special bond. It's normal. Especially if they work closely and live together while working.

[@larnizzo91]

The story definitely is one of the driving forces, but honestly the cast, that’s what keeps me coming back. So damn good

[@beatsprodbycm9455]

Correct the cast is great.

[@parabot2]

@@beatsprodbycm9455 It's a Poor Man's Vikings ( Poorly written , very predictable , Oh and people flip over the shield wall ) It could have been great , but falls way short in many areas .

"The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas." Simple and genius!!

[@Eowyn3Pride]

They pay people for that...they're called "Think tanks" 😉

[@jayess6715]

That's what you call brainstorming: generating lots of ideas, initially without evaluating them.

If Finan dies it will break me

[@marko199981]

Finan is by far my favourite character in the show, with sithric second. Its just the boys what else do i need?

[@caldie4338]

Spoilers.... Dw ur fine

Right? ughh..... but I really feel like he will make it thru the end of the series.

noooooo me too...

[@danvillegas860]

I watched the season 4 while in the quarantine... After watching it I just decided to binge-watch the whole series again from season 1 - 4! Why not. This show is that good!

[@rabmakz2564]

Dan Villegas I can’t count anymore how many times I’ve rewatched the whole series. Prolly at least 4 times. It’s sooo good!

[@gregograssig6420]

When the season 4 came out, i rewatch the seasons 1,2 and 3 and then after that i watch last season, so i got the story fresh (thats my excuse to rewatch)

[@DancerJess14]

It took me a while to get in to this but really committed last week. Watched the whole of seasons 3 and 4 over the weekend. Really just want to set it to play from the beginning again!

[@Legends-of-Matty]

Just done the same 😂😂😂

[@Legends-of-Matty]

I think Mark would be great at directing by the sound of this!

Yes, or co-writer...

[@AM-dc5yz]

Yes!

[@xxsusie1xx]

I was thinking the same. He’d be brilliant at directing

I love him for being in the job

[@Delfin-yz5ul]

I love the chemistry between these 3 guys so much! They are not only excellent actors but also Men with values, lots of humility and a beautiful mind.

[@Katy-sh3ru]

Men who aren't afraid of emotional vulnerability 💖

[@Jennifer-jn3qx]

It’s so clear that the cast is friends off screen, and it really enhances the show.

[@jenniferschoonmaker2988]

[@rekokociu4619]

3 things !! 1) I want 20 episodes season 5 2) I want this show to continue forever 3 ) I just love this trio so much!! I can watch them forever #TLK #thelastkingdom

[@nicekill7858]

Um...

[@marialewis6432]

Whichever casting director chose these 3 kudos to you for your brilliance ...

[@TheCozinessCode]

In Season 5 Episode 9, when confronted with the possibility of his plan to retake Bebbenburg failing, Uhtred says "Then Finan will have to think of something...". It seems Mark's reputation for ideas made it directly into the dialogue of the show!!!

[@NotARealUsername]

These podcasts are just them complimenting each other constantly

[@laurellawson9153]

... and I am okay with that. So much more revealing of the behind the scenes than a stiff, formal interview

[@mariemonniere8471]

Alexander is young, but thinks like someone of more age; so mature, humble and charming! These guys are very smart and funny! Love them!

[@MysticMiss7]

Mark is such a kind and sensitive soul❤

[@flowtee3887]

Now I'm wondering whose idea it was to have a podcast like this. I love it so much. Thanks for engaging us fans this way. Such a treat!

[@XanderGaming]

One of the best treats for sure

[@alanisfont]

Their connection is what makes the show so great ♥️ this podcast is the highlight of my Saturdays

[@XanderGaming]

Yes!

[@patois12]

I'm paying attention well enough to their conversation, but whenever Arnas is in a close-up I have to analyze his hair ornament and try to figure out how it's put in, and what guy in real life would ever be able to do it, let alone want to when he's a warrior with stuff to do💁🏻‍♀️

[@compka93]

My three favs on the show plus they are so HOT. I Love this show, excellent acting. I just binge watched all four seasons and I can not wait for season 5.

[@gokur0cks]

Finan is my favorite character of all

[@fruityxoxo1991]

they should include Baby Monk Osferth in these podcasts...but it seems like the actor stays out of social media and these interviews. :( It sucks because he is great addition to this trio.

[@Allyson6C]

Omg yes! I too have seen Alexander get deeply into those dark parts of himself while in character & that’s something that not all actors are able to embody. I feel like there has to be a sort of natural ability or natural inclination to be in touch with those parts of yourself to begin with & he’s definitely been able to do this throughout the entire series. Imo it’s truly a mark of a very versatile actor. Damn I’m gonna miss this series - it’s such an awesome escape for me! 👍💜💚

[@lisanne11051]

This show, the interviews, and behind the scenes actor "stuff" have made quarantine so much more pleasant. ❤

How awesome is it that these guys get paid to play these badass warriors in an important time in English history. They have an absolute blast off screen which carries into their chemistry on screen.

It's amazing to hear the kindness you guys have for each other. I really felt the 'zero-ego atmosphere' between yous and for that, I love your show even more cos the people behind it don't live in their head. Please stay well!

I'm so weird, I've spent so much time watching "The Last Kingdom" that I feel like I know these guys, so it's fun to watch this shit. I know that I don't know them, but these podcasts don't do much to disillusion me from that perspective. I love these guys, I love this show, I feel I always will. Nobody knows the future, but at 72 it's not a stretch to believe that this work of art will will be a favorite for the rest of my life. Thank you guys

[@jaddenmp]

I could listen to them three all day

[@SaxSasuke]

These 3 remind me of the guys from Supernatural so much. the way they are literally friends off set, there is 0 doubt that this is another rare show were the cast a genuine. Also this shows how Alex works professionally and personally. I've learned from Supernatural that the lead actor or actors carry the show and they set the standard for everyone else. When Alex said , WE created the world on set was just heart melting. It doesn't matter Mark came in Season 2 and Arnas has been there since mid Season 1 they carry the weight equally. Also they are 3 Dork Brothers who seriously need a show were it's just them being them.

[@niveditaindranilchoudhury6522]

These guys are such good mates not just co-workers but actual friends and it shows so well in the show not to mention they just mess around have fun and are just really good. Actors like this make a show stand out especially if it has such a dang good story arc that this show has. At first I was hesitant to watch this show (episode 1 and a bit of episode 2 from the first season) since its different to what I usually watch but now im just hooked to this show its AMAZING.

[@manawahinekorero9534]

Outstanding job on TLK.

Great chemistry between the 3. Will watch the show because of it too. ❤

[@janetbowersox83]

I have to share something cute...i know its a line in the script...but when Finan refers to Osferth with the adorable comment as "baby monk" i find so endearing. That nickname has taken on new meaning at my house....living in the country and having lots of wildlife critters....i have to remind my husband to slow down going up and down our lane because of baby birds and baby chipmunks who cant get out of his way quickly enough. So now "baby monk" is imortalized as watching out for the "baby munks".

[@kevwhufc8640]

I love the way they all laugh and joke off camera like real mates , Even tho this is on camera you can see they must have a right laugh filming the series, things like the water pistol fights & other utube clips are brilliant .
