There is nothing groundbreaking here, but the first part isn't a bad watch. At the end he reads famous lines as Uhtred. I laughed my ass off. If you're interested.

That part at the end was great! Thanks for posting.

That was fun...reminds me of a schtick I watched of Penn Badgley doing his "You" character narrating some random text...pretty funny when the voice and character are so familiar.

Um...OK. So I watched season 1 of Vikings. It was...OK...I guess. I watched the first 2 eps of season 2 and just decided I didn't give a shit about these characters. Ragnar is not some forceful well rounded character. He mostly just smiles smugly and doesn't have much to say. He's surrounded by a cast that is well acted (I suppose) but there's not much to these people either. I mean, the way Rollo swapped right at the end of season 1...then within literally 10 minutes of season 2 is defeated in battle was just...what?? Then we see Ragnar has his son with the Big Teeth broad, his first son leaves with his wife, and Rollo is a mess...then suddenly Ragnars 2nd son with Big Teeth shows up, quite literally after the commercial break...

This show is all over the place. They are not developing characters, in my opinion. They are just moving along. The Last Kingdom was such an excellent example of character arc...Vikings just...sucks...sorry. I probably would have liked it better had I not already seen TLK.

Then my wife read that Valhalla Vikings takes place 100 years after Ragnar's death, so yeah, its SORT OF a follow up to Vikings, but hell, it is more of a follow up to TLK. I'm 2 eps in and I like it so far. It's not great, but it's better than Vikings. JMO.

I don't think you need to waste your time on Vikings to watch this one...better to watch TLK to get a feel for the times the show is about.

Just finished season 4. This series is a solid thumbs up. Quality writing, acting and producing IMO.

Netflix has the conclusion of The Last Kingdom available now, it’s called “Seven Kings Must Die”.

IN.

I watched two or three seasons. It’s been a few years. I liked it a lot but definitely behind I believe there’s been some new seasons since.

Picked it up again, always struggle with it as it so overlaps Vikings that it feels like almost the same show with different faces. So I've just struggled to connect with it. But I saw that the movie was released, so I figured I'd finish it before watching that.

Seven Kings Must Die is pretty goddamned satisfying.

I've never held this up as the best series ever, and especially not historically accurate, but it is enjoyable. And the movie had me sucked in as per usual.

And it has the added benefit of reminding me that I don't call enough people assling in my life.

I enjoyed Seven Kings Must Die, it would have been more satisfying if we had gotten a final season instead but at least Netflix gave us this movie. I’m surely going to miss Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
[Reply]

Certainly. It felt like the first part was rushed like it had been written for 8 or 10 episodes.

Eh. They got the important parts right and they spent some money on the battles.
[Reply]

if you're going to rush a conclusion, they did it about as well as you can. Take Note Game of Thrones.

To me Vikings was waaaaay better than Valhalla. Loved Vikings, and Last Kingdom! Didn’t like the movie that much though.
