    This should be the *official* TLK podcast
    I am wayyyyy late to the party here — major fan of the show and the books, but literally just discovered this podcast last night — and I love it SO much. The hosts are absolutely hilarious and I tend to agree with everything they say. I am holding out hope that they recap the final season, plus the movie! In the meantime, I am rewatching the series and listening to this podcast after every episode. Thank you for all the laughs!

    Too many “likes”
    I had high hopes for this podcast - I really wanted to hear a female take on TLK. The hosts, however, pepper the word “like” into their sentences with such frequency I can’t get past the annoyance.

    We need you for season 5
    I’m late to the party, but love hearing these recaps now that I’m bingeing the show. Please recap Season 5 for us!

    Love these arselings!
    I had already watched all of the TLK seasons when I found this podcast. I love the discussions and the perspective of the shows that the girls provide. Love it and look forward to season 5.

    Good, not Great
    First off, props to these Arselings for doing a podcast on TLK. I just started watching the show a month ago and they are the only podcast of TLK I can find that has stayed alive through all seasons. There are a couple of things that prevent this from greatness. First, they absolutely butcher the pronunciation of character names. Here’s two that are just egregious. Father Beocca and Thyra. They pronounce it Be-Oh-kuh and Teer-ah. The mispronunciation is egregious because never in the show are their names pronounced like this! It’s Be-Ah-kuh, and Too-rah. It’s only been 4 seasons of hearing every character pronounce their names. The podcast is mostly just a recap. They don’t do a great job of getting meta with plot lines and prognosticating what is coming next. They do a little bit of dabbling into character development/intent but stop short of true character exploration. The other things I find off putting is these ladies seem to struggle hiding their man hating. A little ironic considering they are reviewing a Viking show.

    Wonderfully funny and refreshing
    Wife and I started watch the show just a couple of weeks ago, and we just finished season two before I discovered this podcast. I find it refreshing to listen to women and their discussion for a change, since the majority of showcasts are done by men. And they are very funny and insightful! My wife hates podcasts but likes this one, so score!

    The Last Kingdom Podcast I was Looking For
    It's a same I found this podcast after watching season 4, but I really enjoy reliving this season with these witty hosts.

    Love it
    The girls are awesome! So few people I know watch the show so it’s fun to come here and hang.
  • PeanutbutterRican
    Hilarious 🤣
    These ladies are so silly. The small talk isn’t my fave but I enjoy reliving the episodes. TLK is my new fave and fills the void of emptiness left by that terrible last season of GOT. Muchísimas gracias mujeres!

    Had potential
    Podcast started out good but goes downhill fast.

    So fun!
    It’s so great to be able to continue to enjoy Last Kingdom with this podcast. Love these girls and their witty and humorous take on the show.

    Destiny is All That and a cup of Ale
    Found it! Just started season 4 after enjoying this show since the BBC days, and I went hunting for a podcast. Listened to the first ep of this one and I’m hooked. Laughed and nodded along the whole time. Thank you! Here’s hoping for more and more seasons

    Contains Spoilers
    If you are like me and new to The Last Kingdom, I would not listen to this. They went back and did episodes for earlier seasons, which is fine but, they reveal spoilers. I wish that I was warned.

    Don’t listen unless u hate white men
    I’m sure there are plenty of other podcasts that hate on white men but this should be about a great show with characters that have flaws. It has nothing to do with the color of their skin. These 2 ladies have obvious issues that they’re sprinkling into their work. SYFY podcasts I will not be listening to anymore of your content

    Excellent podcast with one exception...
    First and foremost, Jessica and Alyssa know this show. Their commentary is simultaneously insightful and oftentimes quite hilarious. Listening to them discuss the show has me itching to rewatch the series, and it’s great that someone is dedicating time to this under appreciated Netflix gem. The podcast has a great structure, and doesn’t feel cluttered by too many voices. I do agree with other reviews in that I wished they had read the books, but that’s more for the additional exploration of the differences between the show and books, as opposed to any lack of insight into the show itself. My main issue with the podcast would be the continued discussion of every mistake a white male is currently making in our culture. It’s rare that a podcast does not open with the discussion of yet another terrible thing a white male has done or is currently doing in wider society. I understand the occasional interest in a topical subject, but week after week it begins to wear on me. The talk also filters in discussing the show, where again, it can become wearing, especially considering the show features nothing but powerful white men. Again, it’s not a bad podcast, both hosts are hilarious, coherent and insightful, but the political commentary could be trimmed.

    Eh
    It’s fairly interesting as it is about a show I really like. But the almost constant feminist push is pretty unbearable.
  • Mattv05
    Rewatched the show with them
    Are these my favorite podcasters on earth? No. But, they’re definitely not my least my favorite. Thoroughly enjoyed rewatching the show alongside these two. I respect anyone who would openly admit being attracted to Ubba.

    Hilarious Recaps
    The hosts dish out funny and astute analyses of each episode. Their insights are so spot on and I love reliving the best moments of the show. Awesome podcast!
  • Northern Nevada
    Read the books first!
    Love this and that we have ladies leading the nerdy way! But would love it more they had read the books and coordinated them with the episodes!
