Uhtred doesn’t always
win, which makes “The Last Kingdom” all the more credible. He’s always a force
for good and civilization, however, even though he remains a pagan warrior. His
attraction for me is odd, in a way, as I’m pacifistic by nature and peaceful
whenever possible. But Cornwell’s character has a deep undeniable appeal. The
show is predominately a male fantasy, but it features many strong and indelible
female characters. Uhtred is no cave man. He respects and admires women. As
Raymond Chandler might describe him, Uhtred is the best man in his world, and
good enough for any.
