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.

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.

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.… Expand

Miss Ragnar and Rollo. Show is not as good with out their strong presence. Found the first episodes slow. Episode 3 picked up somewhat, but there are only three strong characters left in the series and they are having a hard time holding the series to the same high standards. Still loveMiss Ragnar and Rollo. Show is not as good with out their strong presence. Found the first episodes slow. Episode 3 picked up somewhat, but there are only three strong characters left in the series and they are having a hard time holding the series to the same high standards. Still love Lagatha, Bjion and Floki, but the series needs more. Ivar is good, but doesn't come close to replacing Ragnar and Rollo. In years past loved watching and made it a priority, but this season I leave it in que for 3 or 4 days.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion Vikings Season's 1-4 is the greatest show ever made. But season 5 was terrible. So many things wrong with this season I don't even want to talk about it. Season 5 needs to be called something else because it's not Vikings, it's just trash with trash writing. Do not watch this season!!!! Go on YouTube and watch Bjorn become King and watch Ubbe fight a Dane King. Those were the only good things in season 5. But everything else was garbage.… Expand

Started out okay, went slowly downhill throughout (poor writing, character inconsistencies, fast travels) and got completely ruined by episodes 8 and 9.
Big disappointment, was a big fan of the show and believed it could work without Ragnar - but it is just a mess.
