Excellent series, worth Amazon Prime alone. Dialogue and everything as good as you hope to expect, hoping a season 5 will come after Game of Thrones.

Fantastic mid-season ending.

Wondering how Ivarr gets up on his feet though. He's supposed to have become a fearsome leader in his own right, I believe.

There's a good summary here of what had happened and what we can expect after they talked to some one from the show....contains some mild spoilers though

Good, probably a lead in to S3.

Absolutely superb as always with Vikings. I see it's been given another 20 episode series for next year too.

Wonder how much longer they'll have Fimmel for.

  • spoilers*
Ive been a huge fan of the first 3 series, and Ragnar has become one of my favourite TV drama (anti)heroes. I binged on S4 and finished it last night, and was slightly disappointed... it just seemed like a rehash going back to Paris. Theres the substory of the chinese girl getting Ragnar addicted to something (heroin?) but apart from him killing her there was little explanation of her motives for that, unless it was just a way of getting herself a ticket back to France. Harbard turns up again, and apart from giving all the ladies a seeing-to im unsure what significance that holds.
Then at the end we have skipped 12 years and the boys are ~18 years old, which means Ragnar must now be getting on a bit. Im just hoping that future series dont put him into the backseat and concentrate on the next generation. Im sure they will have some good stories in their own right, but i feel there must be enough adventures left for Ragnar to have.

Yess! Didn't realise this season was 20 eps! Delighted!
The ending had me worried but I was delighted to see Ragnar return to his old self. Looking forward see what he does not given he has his senses back.

I do wonder if they made Ragnar a drug-induced zombie to help deflect the blame for his second ill-fated attack on Paris. i.e. he wasn't really in his right mind, hence the Paris disaster. maybe...

It just says "Fall", don't think there's a concrete release date yet.

I thought the most recent season was relatively poor compared to the others. Plenty of filler with no notable climax....
