    Started out okay, went slowly downhill throughout (poor writing, character inconsistencies, fast travels) and got completely ruined by episodes 8 and 9.
    Big disappointment, was a big fan of the show and believed it could work without Ragnar - but it is just a mess.

    watching the first two episodes of season 5 made me feel like i am watching the same thing over and over again, because it seemed like it had just one tone in the entire episodes no climax or anything, just long dragged scenes of boredom . they have a really good concept here but they blew it with their one dimensional characters and repeated story lines. not to mention the horriblewatching the first two episodes of season 5 made me feel like i am watching the same thing over and over again, because it seemed like it had just one tone in the entire episodes no climax or anything, just long dragged scenes of boredom . they have a really good concept here but they blew it with their one dimensional characters and repeated story lines. not to mention the horrible editing. seriously who edit this show its a disaster, also the show is inconsistent and jumps a lot to the point that makes you notice huge gaps in the story, which is not much to begin with.

    So far quite boring. The "genius" strategies of psychotic Ivar keep working because of the blunt imbecility of his enemies, which continue to wear paper armor and rubber swords, while standing passively around, waiting to get killed by the heroic vikings. So it "works" like the 4 seasons before. This time at least the Heahmund and the Aethelwulf guy seem to have bought real weapons and canSo far quite boring. The "genius" strategies of psychotic Ivar keep working because of the blunt imbecility of his enemies, which continue to wear paper armor and rubber swords, while standing passively around, waiting to get killed by the heroic vikings. So it "works" like the 4 seasons before. This time at least the Heahmund and the Aethelwulf guy seem to have bought real weapons and can then and now kill some otherwise invincible vikings. They should have bought some intellect as well, but obviously they ran out of budget and have to fall for every trap that even a complete retard would have noticed.
    You spice that up with way exaggerated cruelty, lack of any moral integrity of anyone and ready is the dish of this hard to swallow something.

    Next time try to come up with some interesting story, characters that are not a total cliche of the immortal viking warriors and a little bit of realism and there you go.
    Otherwise, repeating the obvious flaws over and over again, make it more and more boring.

    All the cool things are gone. Nobody has fun anymore. Only sorrow, hate and intrigue. I am so disappointed. A pity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion Vikings Season's 1-4 is the greatest show ever made. But season 5 was terrible. So many things wrong with this season I don't even want to talk about it. Season 5 needs to be called something else because it's not Vikings, it's just trash with trash writing. Do not watch this season!!!! Go on YouTube and watch Bjorn become King and watch Ubbe fight a Dane King. Those were the only good things in season 5. But everything else was garbage. Expand
