Seven Kings Must Die - Netflix Movie

Uhtred of Bebbanburg returns. More treachery, more deceit, more people swinging swords and more bloody violence. It would have been nice if they could have made a full series about it, this movie just touches down here and there, it's like hopscotch. On some hops they stop for a few minutes, but for most you just get a quick glance of the devastation some bad guy has wrought and then it's on to the next scene. You best be paying close attention because that guy you thought was your ally turns out to be your worst enemy. Oh, you didn't see that coming, you chump? I wonder if maybe they did a movie instead of a series is because all these actors have gotten tired of living in the tenth century, I mean they've been there for years. Can't blame them.

The show does make the first king of England a faggot, but that kind of thing has been showing up since forever, so it's entirely plausible. And since Uhtred makes him vow to never marry, well, it kind of adds up.

P. S. Anyway, it's pretty great. It was nice to revisit this story since we've spent so much time there (watching seasons 1 through 4).
