Just finished The Last Kingdom. I recommend Black Sails, Turn: Washington's Spies and The Expanse.
Expanse may be the best show I've ever seen. Might be time for a 3rd rewatch.
I was really enjoying The Last Kingdom, but just kind of stopped... Don't even remember why.
The Expanse is probably my favorite; certainly one of my top 5. Like every fan, I recommend reading the books. They moved their subreddit to Mastodon.
TLK can get a little repetitive and characters make obviousy bad decisions, but when you get to the end, the story comes together as a whole. Overall, its a good show.
Did the expanse get cancelled or am I misremembering that? I loved it, but once I heard it wasn’t getting renewed I just forgot about it to save myself the trauma.
It got dropped by Syfy after three seasons and picked up again by Amazon for a further three seasons. Bezos was apparently a fan. They didn't renew it after that, but it ended in a decent place, closing out a lot of the plot lines while leaving the door open for more. There's some stuff setting up future plot threads that they don't get to address, but it mostly won't leave you hanging. It's well worth finishing.
I won't spoil anything, but adapting the final trilogy would involve some difficult changes and be very expensive, so I suppose it's understandable that they didn't keep it going, as much as that sucks. Maybe one day. There's comics and a Telltale game coming out, so there's still life in it yet. And you can always read the books.
