Most impressively, Vikings captures the grim reality of these times and the limitations of these characters--barbarous, superstitious creatures that they are--in a manner that draws one into their world without necessarily evoking sympathy for it. And even the ostensible good guys, like Ragnar, are prone to do very bad things, without making them any less watchable. Read full review

It’s consistently well-made, entertaining, and held aloft by thought-provoking ideas. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got bored with Vikings in Season 3.5-4.5, or however one is counting and stopped watching. I just picked in back up again. Rather amazingly, to me, is that the series has allowed the original characters to age and/or die and brought up new and fresh characters. Both Alex Høgh Andersen as Ivar, and Alexander Ludwig as Bjorn Lothbrok are fascinating young men. The other sons are find. Lagertha, Rollo, and Kattegat have undergone major renovations and their newness is refreshing. Even the Paris story has become interesting. So, for me, it is like seeing a new 1st season again, with enough continuity to deepen my understanding and appreciation for the history and enough newness to make it all fresh.… Expand

The story is as brutally simple (as were the Vikings, so the series suggests): Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a farmer when he's not being a warrior,
Brilliant series

Disappointing fourth season overall; they seems to want to rush the show or something because throughout we have incoherent cuts between characters stories, i.e random howling from Bjorn then straight cut to politics in France with no explanation? The show has been really good up till nowDisappointing fourth season overall; they seems to want to rush the show or something because throughout we have incoherent cuts between characters stories, i.e random howling from Bjorn then straight cut to politics in France with no explanation? The show has been really good up till now and its really a shame they're taking it down this route. Hopefully they can improve with the next season.… Expand

I had hopes for this season but they should have just sticked to the 10 episodes/season formula. Now they just tell a 10 episodes worth of story in 20 episodes.

What a big disappointment. Besides borrowing some names and pieces of stories from the Volsunga Saga and from the Gesta Danorum, the series has the politics wrong, the ships wrong, the weapons, the armor, wrong. The clothes are ludicrous. Paris is wrong in any possible way. Every historical movie or show has to take liberties, we all expect it. But this is far too much. The church crucified people (not one recorded case), women were not allowed to illuminate (there are whole lists with the names of women that illuminated manuscripts)... I could go on. What is the point of call yourself the History Channel if you do not give a... peanut about history?… Expand

Enjoyed the show until the porn scenes. I don't watch porn, don't wish to watch it, especially on TV shows. I accidentally posted this in season 3, which I was very tempted to stop watching due to the sex scenes, but after the latest episode tonight, I gave up on it. Didn't finish watching the show.
