Take the Black: The Last Kingdom vs Game of Thrones

After breaking down the new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, we debate the merits of two great medieval-y shows: The Last Kingdom and Game of Thrones.

Welcome to another episode of Take the Black, the only pop culture podcast you will ever need, unless you want another one; I’m not here to tell you what to do. What I’m here to do is usher you into an exciting episode. We begin by breaking down the new trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder before answering an age-old question…or rather a very new one: which show is better: HBO’s Game of Thrones or Netflix’s The Last Kingdom?

That discussion starts around 22:27. Watch below!

Now, of course, the real answer to the question, “Which show is better?” is entirely subjective. Whichever one you like more, you like more. But these two shows are similar enough for the differences to be worth discussing, and in the wake of the final season of The Last Kingdom dropping on Netflix there’s been a lot of discourse about whether it topped Game of Thrones. So why not add our voices to the cacophony?
