The Last Kingdom is one of the most underrated shows in history, literally just watching it a few minutes ago with my brother (his first viewing, my second)

“How the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered.” ― Ragnar Lothbrok aka the greatest character arc ever in any TV show. Change my mind....

[Inuyasha]

I am still obsessed with Merlin I am glad it made top 10.
I have never cared much for musicals but Galavant was such a great show.

For me, nothing beats The Last Kingdom and Game of Thrones in this list - two of the best TV shows ever made.

[LucienSabre]

BBC’s Merlin was unique also because for pretty much the whole show Arthur remains unaware (a.k.a. totally oblivious LOL) of Merlin’s magic, with everyhing that entails. No other take on this medieval legends cycle, earlier or later, did that.

17:30 Game of Thrones before it went downhill because George R.R. Martin didn't publish more of his A Song of Ice and Fire books and D&D had to rush everything so that they can make their Star Wars project.

The said project was canceled anyway.

I knew Game of Thrones would be number one! When I saw my dad was a huge fan while visiting him one summer, I decided to give it a try and I was instantly hooked after only one episode! This show has actually made me a dragon fanatic, and I was extremely afraid of them when I was a little kid!

Cavill was a main character in the Tudors as well.

Merlin is one of the best series ever. I have already watched the series more times than I can count. The relationship between him and Arthur is something else that I haven't had the chance to see until today. Beyond the good plot, this relationship are the heart of the series. Must watch.

I enjoyed Merlin that much I even started believing the legend existed once the show ended.

[theoriginalThud]

I loved Galavant!
It really deserves another chance, maybe on a smaller platform where ratings expectations aren’t unrealistically high.

[chaberio]

Yes!!! Da Vinci's Deamons was amazing! Thank you for recognizing em. Very good show.

[chelseacanales]

Oh my gosh!! Redwall!!! I love the show, so many childhood memories. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[bakhtyarshirzai]

Vikings will always be number one for me.

[lautaro.O.L.]

Merlin over The Witcher... I'll take it

[BenSimulator]

The Last Kingdom in the long run is definitely the best‼️ Vikings lost it’s flame when Ragnar died and Game of Thrones started to crumble at season 7. But The Last Kingdom stood solid straight through ‼️ And for those that say The Last Kingdom went to far from Its source material. Well this is what I have to say about that, The author ✍️ himself said he’s ok with the fact that The Last Kingdom tv series is different from the books, he endorses the show! And said he really enjoys it! And says he gets irritated when people say the show went to far from the books‼️ It’s settled‼️

[samkrumme]

Game of thrones kinda brought the medevil trend back to todays shows but have not seen anything as good yet

[mryozobo]

Robin of Sherwood (1983-86) should be on that list.

[leandromachado]

GOT will be number 1 forever! (Despite of the terrible end!)😅
