    Gotta love how the cripple magically kills Bjorn. Give me a **** break whoever wrote season 6 needs to trip and fall on a pen where the pen goes straight up there dickhole. **** director wtf happned to Rolo in season 6? A joke of a tv series... Just like GoT ****
    The first 4 seasons were GREAT 8 out of 10 easy. But season 5-6 killed the series in a bad way and the director can go **** himself.

    surprised to see such greatness turned into **** in half a season, not a single event makes sense in all this crippling season, worst writing n directing you can possibly imagine

    First two episodes of season 6 were great overall. But this once great show isn't worth watching anymore. Sure it still has moments of greatness. But the show is brought down by some storylines that just don't work. And the show is starting to get more and more woke. Season 5 was trash and at this point I'm tired of it. I wont watch another episode.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I'm going to try and stick just to Season 6, even though I mostly hated Season 5, and 4 was already going downhill fast. Where to start with this show? The writers are so in love with their own farts at this point. Just look at Lagertha's death and funeral. So overblown, overdone, and overwrought it was just ridiculous. I literally skipped through most of it. In fact, I skipped through half the season. This show has so many extended slow-motion scenes with "dramatic" music... Apparently this stuff is supposed to be emotional, but when your actors are so bad and the things they say and do are so stupid, it's just impossible to care. The entire story line of Fhitserk (sic) going crazy was tedious and boring, just like the entire Fhloki (sic) and Iceland story line from the previous two seasons. Just more depressing, tepid storytelling with endless rain and some whining character constantly crying to the gods blah blah blah. Ugh. Please, just stfu and die already.
    But let me break down some of the stupid so people can really understand what I mean.
    1. First off, the fighting has been idiotic and historically inaccurate for several seasons now. Warriors in those days always fought in a shield wall. Always. There were few archers because archers weren't that effective against disciplined shield walls. But now all the fight scenes are just straight from Braveheart or GoT, just warriors charging at each other, giving up the high ground for no reason other than to have it look good on camera. It's stupid and insulting to people who actually know history.
    2. A huge part of this entire season is about the Rus invading Scandinavia. How dumb can you get? The entire reason Vikings were Vikings is because Scandinavia and Daneland had crappy land!! They left to invade southern lands because the land was temperate and rich! No one would waste time, men, and huge amounts of money to invade Scandinavia!! You idiots.
    3. One thing I've always hated in this show is the lack of spies and espionage. You have supposed kings that haven't got a clue what's going on the next town over, or in the next kingdom. It's just dumb, but it makes for easy "drama" for lazy writers so they can set up surprises etc without having to worry about logic.
    4. Tying into #3, you have zero policing or patrolling of your land. So Bjorn Ironside banishes some outlaws, and then they are able to easily and with impunity raise a huge war band and raid villages and attack Lagertha's home. Umm, okay sure. Do these writers have any idea how kingdoms worked?!!? These lands would be patrolled and protected by the Jarls and Kings, FFS!
    5. Vikings not acting like Vikings. For example, a grown warrior slaughters a little boy for no reason other than spite. Highly unlikely. Vikings cared about honor and reputation. Striking down a 6-year-old boy would destroy your reputation. Also, if you're attacking that village, the children are extremely valuable as slaves or hostages.
    6. Lagertha gets wounded, doesn't even try to staunch the wound, then tries to make a dangerous journey by herself because Brunhilda (horrid actress) can't go with her. But, uhhh, there's like a whole village of people who could go with her. Umm, hey, just ask that other girl to go. Hey um, just ask like that guy over there to go... Hey, what about that guy, or that guy, or that girl over there? No? She's got to go alone so she can get stabbed in the dark because she has to die this season? Oh, uhh, okay I guess.
    7. There are so many things in this show that just "happen" because the writers need it to, even though they make no f-ing sense. Like Prince Oleg capturing his brother, also a powerful prince, just suddenly with a surprise attack with some horsemen. Like, this prince doesn't have any guards or forces? These horsemen just ride through his territory with zero problems? Okay sure. Or how about Harald raping Bjorn's wife. He just suddenly has her in his tent! Just like that! She doesn't have any guards? She's a queen, right? She doesn't have any maids or a single freaking guard? She's just wandering around where anyone can abduct her? Ugh, whatever.

    I know I wrote a lot, but I feel like I barely even scratched the surface of the stupid. I hate this show so much now. It's always had really bad stuff, like the terrible actress playing Princess Judith, but now it's just insufferable. And what makes it so hard to bear is that the writers and show runners clearly think they're geniuses making something profound. LOL. Sad.    … Expand

    Woke vikings. Trying to work 2020 themes into the show is pathetic and unnecessary. Lowers the quality of the writing immensely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible performances, meaningless story lines, script from bad to nonexistent. Never in my life has it cost me so much to finish watching a series and more when one is a fan.
    The series died with the death of Ragnar, but with the sixth season they finished burying it.
    Don't waste your time looking at this crap.    … Expand

    Sad end of the entire series. Embarrassingly poor writing, artificial and weak acting. Keep it up, u will surely gain more customers.

    Be glad that Hirst has 20 episodes to escort Bjorn to his throne – and relieved that he has demonstrated his ability and willingness to take the proper amount of time and care to do justice to his characters, real or legendary. We can never be certain about how well a series will nail the ending, but at least with “Vikings,” the fandom’s faith can lean on a firmer foundation based in history and demonstrated skill as opposed to spectacle and whim. And we hope any questions it leaves us with, gods willing, will be worth ruminating upon.
