Honey Honey 3,767 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It is very good but I thought the 4th season dragged in places. The historical inaccuracies bugged me a little but I got over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the series goes on the timeframe and placing of characters becomes wildly inaccurate if not entirely made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well i guess they had to make it made up to become more interesting. I will still give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocaine 3 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Superb series. Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok was a brilliant piece of acting. *Spoiler coming...* Not sure how good it will be going forward without him (I know it had to come some time) - we'll see... but IF Lagertha stays in it then it will be worth watching still!

6666 1,295 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I think it's best to not go into it expecting historical accuracy. Just treat it as any other TV show and it'll be enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair It's still true enough to history that you can easily spoil the main pays of it for yourself by reading up on viking history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 The first two episodes of season five were merely an introduction for bigger things. The show looks like they increased their budget as it is fairly popular now. Can't wait for Thursday (in Bosnia) for the new episode to premiere.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,505 Posted December 19, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 19, 2017 So im up to date but heres my thoughts so far: The show isnt the same without Ragnar and Athelstan (to a lesser degree). They where the two strongest and most interesting characters. With Ragnar alive they could keep the most important parts of Athelstan alive because he partly lived through Ragnar. With both gone the only hope was really Bjorn. I think Bjorn could have taken the mantle but with him seemingly intent on raiding the other side of the world hes merely a background character. Its a pity, focusing on Ivar isnt the same. I really dont care about him, ok hes this evil death wielding cripple mastermind destined for great things. I just dont care, he doesnt have the depths to him that Ragnar had nor even Bjorn to some extent. It leaves me watching somewhat disinterested, even on the Lagertha front i dont care either what happens. Dont get me wrong ill keep watching, but they have focused on the wrong character since Ragnars story has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 4,951 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I don't think I could handle this show's depiction of history without losing a few marbles. Everyone knows Viking's were vicious mauraders in bright colours that were obsessed with hair perfumes and primping their hair. They were concerned with cleanliness and had retarded hairstyles that were shaved at the back and long at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,505 Posted March 27, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well what did you guys think about the first half? Im a little underwhelmed. I did like the finale mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Finale was decent, however not as keen on it as when Ragnar ruled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie 3,230 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Watching the first season. Never new the vikings had a culture of being wife sharing cucks. Also I choose to believe Ragnar and his male model friends secretly want to sail to milan for the fashion shows. With haircuts and fashion like theirs.

True Blue 971 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Anyone seen the opening two episodes of season 6? Pretty decent with a lot of things to go down. Also it's the final season of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,505 Posted April 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted April 6, 2021 Anyone still watching this show? I just finished it a week or two ago, tbh I probably wouldnt have watchted the last season split if it wasnt the last. Started out great for about 2 seasons and eventually the writing was shite by the last few. Pretty mediocre overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,143 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Got 4 episodes and the wife didn't like it (I did) so couldn't be arsed watching it on my own and it's something I'd need to start again to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
