THE LAST KINGDOM on Netflix. If you’re looking for something to fill the “Game of Thrones”-shaped hole in your heart until the final season runs next year, consider trying this fictional drama series about the formation of England. Season 3 picks up at the end of the ninth century, as Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon), a warlord with major identity issues, is forced to battle invading Danes for the ailing King Alfred (David Dawson). The show is based on the series of novels by Bernard Cornwell, and this season focuses on the fifth installment in the saga, “The Burning Land.”

AGATHA RAISIN AND THE WIZARD OF EVESHAM on Acorn TV. The detective at the center of this lighthearted mystery series, based on the books by M. C. Beaton, trades drab trench coats for flashy dresses and a pop of red lipstick. Ashley Jensen (“The Extras,” “Ugly Betty”) returns as the glamorous Agatha Raisin, a London publicist whose retirement in a sleepy Cotswolds village begins her second act as a sleuth. She comes across her first case of Season 2 in a hair salon, where she suspects her obnoxious stylist of teasing dark secrets out of his clients to extort them. “This is an old-school series,” Neil Genzlinger wrote in his review for The New York Times. “Consume as much or as little as you like. It’s a pleasant meal any way you devour it.”
