Bacon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have really wanted more TLK lately, but not really sure what to watch. And to get a bit more specific I really want the show, or even movie to focus on basically like one character. TLK did show other perspectives, but like, not really. It was basically a show about Uhtred with other characters sprinkled in. Well, you could argue that the Alfred was the second protagonist, but whatever. I just want something like TLK the mostly follow one character. Your suggestions can be from any service. Netflix is preferred tho. And I don't mean it has to be vikings or even set in our reality but just something similar in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 No. I will one day prolly. But I am really looking for that "YEAH LET'S WATCH THAT RIGHT NOW" suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I have no idea if it's like TLK, but Vikings is indeed very good as suggested. At least the first two seasons are excellent. I'm making my way through the third now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want a show that’s focused on a singular character but the setting doesn’t matter then try Altered Carbon. Not nearly on TLK level but it’s a really fun show in a cool setting and it might be the prettiest show I’ve ever seen in 4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hulu is so fucking shit on PC. Thankfully the first 3 seasons are on prime. Not sure what I'll do for the other seasons if I want to watch all of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I suggest a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I read often enough. I mean, I read more than I watch tv shows. And I don't know what you are confused at. Watching hulu on chrome/firefox looks like total shit. Shit is like 480p. Not a perfect comparison but fair enough. Just look at the text. Might have to go full screen tho.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I've never had an issue with Hulu on my PC, but just watch it on your TV. I actually didn't know you were a reader of any significance, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I am, but not like you guys. In no way is any of it intellectually stimulating. I am a stupid reader. Just some examples are The Dark Elf Trilogy, The Broken Empire Trilogy, The Kingkiller Chronicle, Blood Song, Son of the Black Sword, Assassin's Apprentice(and maybe others by Robin Hobb can't remember), and just stuff like that. Plus a ton a web fictions(not fan fictions), but now that shit is really of no significance. 100% lowbow reading material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 While I love reading to learn and better myself, sometimes it's good just to read for pure fun. Not everything has to be educational. Most importantly, read what you enjoy. I'm just glad people read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emblazon Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 @Bacon If you want more of TLK, the series is currently only through book 8. There are 4 more books, with a 5th and final (book 13) due later this year. Get to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ohhh, I didn't realize the final book was this year. I'm only through 4 currently. Need to get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say read the Uhtred books by Bernard Cornwall, they're all straight forward, engaging and easy to polish off over a long weekend if you wanted. In terms of series, I would also say Vikings, although I had a lot of time for Marco Polo, Narco's and I've heard good things about Empire.

Greatoneshere Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Honestly, Black Sails fits the bill. Watched it for the first time recently and in terms of tone, complexity, and themes it matches TLK in a lot of ways. I really enjoyed that show a lot, it impressed me more than I expected.

I’d love a good pirate show but I always assumed it was kinda low budget and not great. No idea why I thought that though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
