The Last Kingdom is the perfect show for fans of Game of Thrones who have seen every episode multiple times and still crave more.
Not to say that it's "comparable" to GoT in every way, but it is a decent supplement for in-between GoT binges.
The show's synopsis is as follows: "The year is 872, and many of the separate kingdoms of what we now know as England have fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred. Against this turbulent backdrop lives our hero, Uhtred."
prevnextFriends from College
Starring: Keegan-Michael Key, Cobie Smulders, Annie Parisse, Nat Faxon, Fred Savage, Jae Suh Park, and Billy Eichner.
If you prefer Netflix's comedy's, but you want something a little less traditonal, then you should definitely check out the brand new series Friends from College.
The show is described as follows: "After all going to Harvard together, six friends reunite in their mid-forties to try and get over their midlife crisis. It'll explore their friendships which at times are often complicated."
All eight episodes dropped on July 14th so you can easily burn through this show before the end of the week.

Major themes include the academic struggles of the players, some of whom have come from severely disadvantaged backgrounds."
Continuing, the synopsis readss, "Team academic advisor Brittany Wagner is featured prominently as she is tasked with getting all team members to graduate on time.
