The show starts its new season out with a BANG, really starting with a new story but also having it feel like the old vikings show we used to love. great build up on old and new characters very excited to see what's in store for the new season of vikings.
The first two episodes were kinda lackluster but the show really picked up from the 3rd episode onward. I love Alex Anderson's performance as Ivar and the battles has been fantastic so far, also Lagertha continues to be a fantastic character. In conclusion, Vikings is still a fantastic show with phenomenal performances by its cast, amazing production value, good storytelling, and terrific execution.
This season of Vikings, so far, has been a mixed bag for me. While it does have some fun episodes, it fails to deliver when it comes to story progression and character development. Also, the acting can be weak at times. And, seriously, episode 10 was such a letdown. I do understand what the creators were trying to do with that episode, but their idea for it was so poorly-executed. My feelings are conflicted for this first half of the season, however, if the second half of this season fares better (or, hopefully not, worse), then I will change this rating. But, until then, this rating will stay the same.
