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.

Yeah its very formulaic at times, but aren't all of these series that way?
They're all basically soap operas for men
Good guy wins
Bad guy wins
A short lived peace is achieved
Bad guy wins
Good guy wins
Rinse and repeat that chorus with plenty of bloody action
