All wonderful shows in one way or another inspire the audience to ask questions. Not because the shows are particularly hard to understand or straight up, not decipherable. It has more to do with the complexity and details of the show than anything else. And when we talk about a series that is based on books, it is more than understandable that the show will raise plenty of questions among the community. And that is exactly the case with Netflix’s The Last Kingdom.

Based on the series of books written by Bernard Cornwell under the title The Saxon Stories. The English drama series started off as a show on BBC Two Network, much like BBC’s Peaky Blinders. However, after the first two seasons, the show was acquired by Netflix. After a beautiful run of five seasons, The Last Kingdom finally ended this March 8, 2022. But the thing with such shows is that they always raise questions among people, and we are at their service to provide the answers.
