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

    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.

I get that the storyI loved the first two seasons and felt that season 3 was a bit lacking. The new season is all over the place though. I get that the story needs to spread out and incorporate new characters (and time jumps) to further the story but its just getting ridiculous. The new central narrative focuses on all the new characters and very little on the original cast.… Full Review »

Hmm, Season I and II were really good, at least trying to depict the the scandinavians somewhat accurately, although a lot was missing in a historical sense. Still good and entertaning though, with strong characters, some good acting and above all, a proper STORY... Season III, and the show starts to go all downhill. Two good things though.. The ending of the siege of Paris and the death of Athelstan.

    Season IV, and the show has gone from mediocre to awful. They sort of killed the main characters, in spirit that is, and made them extras in their own show. Who cares about the horribly bad acting "Franks" and "Saxons" and their stupid wifes. The show is called "Vikings", is it not? Misplaced filler lovestories and ridiculous anachronistic scenes with a chinese concubine...!? For real? I guess the show was too popular depicting what people actually want to see, so now they want to kill it off entirely. No, people DO NOT want to see multicultural, falsified history with an obvious agenda of miscrediting scandinavian people, promoting the "higher" monotheistic culture (that I expect will happen soon in the show..) Sadly, I fear it will go from horrible to pure parody as the characters are "developed" into mere cartoonfigures.    … Full Review »
