It's enjoyable but nowhere near good.
merdan_ali11 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'll keep it short because my English isn't good enough to describe my feelings.

At first, I don't understand people who rate with 1 or 10 stars. it's neither excessively bad nor excellent. If you don't understand the rating system, let others do the rating. It's not fair to the creators who put a lot of work in the camerawork, Costume-design, Set-design etc.

in my opinion the problem is the whole plot. the last two seasons feel so artificial. nothing seems authentic anymore. The story is weak and pointless and the few main characters act like bully children while the others do nothing. So season 6 is exhausting, filled with superfluous storylines, painfully long funerals, boring ceremonies and other slow-mo filler scenes. If you don't have stuff to tell, make fewer episodes and stop filling 40 minutes with so many slow-mos, My lifetime is limited guys.

But vikings is not vikings without an army of vikings: And this show solves this weakness with always the same formula: viking people can be influenced very quickly. two sentences about/with Ragnar (whose name is only used as a plot tool in S5&6) and the people are "enlightened" for the tenth time like 'Folk, we lost so many of our brothers and fathers in the last senseless battles, but we're bored, let's bully England! skål! ' lol why not Example, Ivar: At first they mock him, the next moment they love him, In one scene everyone spit on him and in the other they adore him, give me a break..

Season 1 - 4 a shocking brutal masterpiece, Season 5 and 6 epic drama-soap.

Whats the deal with ubbe storyline?
alliadal4 January 2021

They have done this many times, what is the deal with them taking good characters, like Ubbe and Floki, and just giving them poor storylines and a plot with no relevance to the story.. other wise good episode but just really annoying how they treat some of they're characters.

What's the deal with ubba ? I mean he was one of the best sons of Ragnar and now he is in the sea the entire episode !! Floki , ubba , and many other great characters they ruined them I swear.

Another Filler Episode
claudio_carvalho23 July 2022
Ubbe has a difficult journey with the settlers due to the lack of water and supplies, and the weakest persons die on board. He also discusses with Othere. Meanwhile, Ivar and Hvitserk return to Kattegat and hail King Harald, while they are loathed by the residents. Ivar question his brother whether he took the right decision leaving Kiev.

"The Final Straw" is another filler episode of "Vikings". Ubbe, Torvi and the settlers deserve a better fortune than dying in open sea. The conspirator Ivar left Kiev with Hvitserk, where they were adored, to be loathed by the people in Kattegat. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "The Final Straw"

I liked the well-shot, half-legendary, half-historical series. The characters of the saga are colorful, the cast is well chosen, the atmosphere is addictive. Surprisingly, all 6 seasons are worthy

The great war
bozijlucifer30 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm hooked on this show. I've reviewed all the seasons, and now the sixth and last one is coming to an end. If we discard the historical blunders, and look at it as a work of art, I personally have no complaints. I love Scandinavia very much, we lived in Sweden for several years - maybe that's why I like the series so much

It's A Masterpiece
nikolajvesij14 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It's A Masterpiece. I am waiting for the next series of the continuation of the season. All the actors play perfectly. Shooting, Makeup, special effects at the highest level. Sometimes there are a series of tightened, drawn zaushi. And in general, the series is addictive. Locke's unknown fate. I've already reviewed it twice. 10 out of 10

Phenomenal series that can't be beaten
noteshappen11 September 2022
Had to write a review after I saw some people saying the show has gotten worse over time. They couldn't be more wrong. This show has done nothing but get better and better and the story telling pulls you in constantly without issue. The life and death of each character is significant and never fails to bring a tear to your eye. In the history of television, Vikings will be near impossible to beat in quality, story, music score, acting and heart.

Those that rate this show and it's episodes any less than 10 needs to get their head checked.

Michael Hirst has managed to create a legendary show without fail. This isn't just an opinion. This is fact.

Kill it already
aopek21 March 2021
This show went from great to bad.

If you have a story for 50 episodes and you try to make 90 to get more money, that"s what happens.

You csn give all the fake 10/10 you want.

This season sucks and it is so bad that not even the true fans of the show could enjoy.
