How does The Last Kingdom compare to GoT? (lemmy.ml)

So, I was looking for shows similar to GoT and found out about The Last Kingdom and Vikings. I saved Vikings for later because I heard that it becomes soap opera-ish in the last few seasons. I don't really like shallow characters even if the visuals or action scenes of a movie/show is great.

Edit: Also, if you have recommendations for other similar shows, do mention them!

Thanks for the detailed comment! I started watching the show just after I made the post and I'm finding it pretty decent. Though the difference in the budget of both shows is noticeable, which isn't really a bad thing in my book.

Lastly, while the story itself is fiction, the overall trajectory and setting aligns with actual history. This made me interested in learning the related history which I knew nothing about.

Vinland Saga did this for me and it's also the reason I'm curious about this show.
