He made this show until Hirst wrote one of the clumsiest declines for a lead character. Since he left the show has never recovered.I don't know how to rate Travis Fimmel as an actor, but he's certainly very entertaining.
Yeah it feels like it jumped the shark a bit. I didn't understand why he handed himself over if he was going to be executed.He made this show until Hirst wrote one of the clumsiest declines for a lead character. Since he left the show has never recovered.
The producers of this series tried to get as close as they could to historical truth, but they said themselves it was very difficult, Ragnar Lodbrook may or may not have been historical but, he was someone or a mix of other Vikings with big reputations , but they made sagas about him so he was somebody , Bjorn, Hvitserk, Ubbe, Ivar and others connected to them were historical, but the Rus never invaded Scandinavia, but Vikings or Viking Rus began Russia and mixed together over centuries with Slavic people they helped create Belarus, Ukraine some of Russia.I only just round to finishing off season 6. I used to watch the episodes asap. The show has descended into the characters doing dumb things to create tension.
King Olaf occupies Harald's kingdom and holds him captive. Bjorn goes to rescue Harald but is beaten. Olaf is now all powerful but decides to hold an election for who is to be king. Harald wins so now Olaf is Harald's prisoner. And Harald now wants to kill Bjorn. Someone should have given Michael Hirst a slap when he came up with this garbage.
Bjorn - instead of giving Hvitserk a slow painful death for murdering his mother he banished him. This is totally unrealistic, especially after how it worked out when he did the same with White Hair a short time ago. I mean, he's stupid but not this stupid.
You lose the care factor for the characters when the plot is this dodgy.
You're not the only one giving up after that pointless mess.I only just got around to catching up on the last season of this, only to find that there will be ten more. I don't think I can do it. Not a single thing made sense over the course of that season. I have no idea why anyone does anything.
I might just read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, like I've done with the Walking Dead. Or rather, like I meant to do with the Walking Dead, but never got around to.Will watch the end just to see it.
The Last Kingdom is better.
I think the last season went into panic mode because the rest was brilliant, but the King Harald and Norway, the historical Bjorn I read, was supposed to have eventually become King of Norway, after many viking travels into the Mediterranean, although these TV shows try to make the history as close as possible , they really failed in this last one? But the first lot were excellent.I only just round to finishing off season 6. I used to watch the episodes asap. The show has descended into the characters doing dumb things to create tension.

Why? Amazon Prime is amazing value and then you get excellent video streaming thrown in." Exclusively on Amazon Prime from Dec 30"
That's annoying.
Because every other season has been shown on SBS, and people were rightly expecting the same of the final season?Why? Amazon Prime is amazing value and then you get excellent video streaming thrown in.
It's got nothing to do with SBS.Because every other season has been shown on SBS, and people were rightly expecting the same of the final season?
Maybe SBS thought that the last season was unmitigated garbage, and very few (if any) of their viewers would care to see how it ends. Can't blame them if that's the case. I, for one, have watched every season to now - but have zero interest in the final season.
The last thing I want is another damn streaming service.
