It doesn't matter because Vikings is still up there with the top drama shows and an invaluable gem for History Channel. The cinematography and beautiful scenery really stand out. The show begins with Ragnar as the lead but as the story progresses, his household characters - Floki, Lagertha, and his children get their chance in the limelight as well. Great casting choices and background music. 'Vikings' is so immersive that it also visualizes what the characters think/dream of - be it mythology or a character just tripping. Though it somewhat loses its track after S4, and characters are found switching sides as easy as a chameleon blends in with the surrounding. The battle sequences have surely gotten better later in the series and drama still can sustain a level of interest throughout.
