For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I haven't watched game of thrones but have just asked OH who watches both and he said no in that G of T is all fantasy whereas the Last Kingdom is loosely historical fact about the the Danish invasion and Alfred the Great. There are similarities in that they are both gritty with plenty of sex and violence :-)
Having missed the first episode I bought the book so as to understand the second episode. The book however bore so little resemblance to the episode that I had seen that I carried on reading it and have just finished the second book in the series. I think that the tv version will be an anticlimax if I watch it on catchup tv
