Season 2, Episode 8
5/10
A filler season
23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Man they have outdone themselves. I thought that season 1 was average at best. It felt like leftovers from the last 2 seasons of Vikings which were weak compared to Ragnar's seasons. Still season 1 had half interesting story.

Then comes season 2 and it's a total filler season. There isn't really a main story that makes you interested. Canute is away most of the season so nothing there. Then you have Harald that's is travelling around Rus and on his way to Constantinople. There are no battles there just some side story. The story in England is also pretty boring. They just turned Emma which was a good character to some weird paranoid Queen. It's totally out of character for her.

And finally you get Freidis which supposed to be the new Lagertha. Cause you know they want to draw female viewers of course. The problem is the actress is weak compared to the great Katheryn. They also made her do some cringe accent. And don't get me started with the fate of Olaf which is totally inaccrute historically. How can you kill off a historical character before he becomes the King of Norway as it actually happend?
