I'm gonna make a really odd comparison here, but Last Kingdom felt to me a little like Silicon Valley in that every season they seemed to just hit the same beats. Silicon Valley was the same thing every year -- ragtag misfits have idea, idea stalls, they have breakthrough, idea gets stolen by rich guy(s), misfits figure out a workaround and end the season on the precipice of success -- next season it's come apart somehow, rinse and repeat.

I'm not gonna get too spoilery here, but the broad strokes of every season of Last Kingdom seemed awfully similar and Uhtred always seemed to end up about where he started.

I didn't watch the movie -- maybe that would've helped provide an actual path forward for me. But it just felt repetitive after a bit.
