    Miss Ragnar and Rollo. Show is not as good with out their strong presence. Found the first episodes slow. Episode 3 picked up somewhat, but there are only three strong characters left in the series and they are having a hard time holding the series to the same high standards. Still love Lagatha, Bjion and Floki, but the series needs more. Ivar is good, but doesn't come close to replacingMiss Ragnar and Rollo. Show is not as good with out their strong presence.

    This season of Vikings, so far, has been a mixed bag for me. While it does have some fun episodes, it fails to deliver when it comes to story progression and character development. Also, the acting can be weak at times. And, seriously, episode 10 was such a letdown. I do understand what the creators were trying to do with that episode, but their idea for it was so poorly-executed. MyThis season of Vikings, so far, has been a mixed bag for me.

My feelings are conflicted for this first half of the season, however, if the second half of this season fares better (or, hopefully not, worse), then I will change this rating. But, until then, this rating will stay the same.… Expand

    This new "era" of vikings are not compared to the previews characters in the first seasons. They were much more complex and way more emotional which gave us interesting roles in the series.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The show is starting to lack creativity. 'Let's invade England and fight the Wessex King', we've seen that before. The bishop-fighter guy is a good actor and an interesting character, but that's the most interesting thing going on in the Wessex storyline. The royal sons all look alike and won't live long probably.
    But my main concern is: there are no likeable or relatable characters left. Ragnar's sons are very one-dimensional (the psychopath, the clueless, the follower and a dead one). I don't get this Ivar character and why everyone acts so weird around him. For example: how can you axemurder your brother and everyone seems to be okay with it? Let's just continue our journey to Wessex for Odin's sake? And what does Ivar actually do, except racing around aimlessly in his chariot and acting mad? Is this 'strategic genius' so respected because he came up with the idea for some guerilla warfare instead of storming the enemy straight ahead?
    The characters were so well written the previous seasons, but this season they are just as one-dimensional as the sons. Floki is having a existential crisis that just drags on. Lagertha is queen and that's about it. Bjorn's brother is murdered, but still he only wants to travel around. The Nordish king and his sidekick have the emotional complexity of a 5-year old: 'me want woman' or 'me want glory'.
    What's up with Rolo? I loved his goofy new hairstyle and the awkwardness in the French court. Like Ragnar, he was a very complex and interesting character.
    I hope that the show will surprise us story wise. Otherwise it will be a medieval version of The Boring Dead.    … Expand
