This is a review for the final 10 episodes of Vikings, which premieres on December 30 on the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform.
After the first episode - which proudly and profoundly wraps up Bjorn Ironside's storyline in awesome ways - the season lapses into a bit of cold confusion for a bit. Ivar and Hvitserk's remaining time with Prince Oleg, Princess Katia, and Igor stumbles into slog territory while the Kattegat drama -- involving Queen Gunnhild, Ingrid, and Erik the Red, as they play their own dull "Game of Thrones" back home -- is a mild misfire as well. And the Kattegat escapades continue all the way to the end, giving us too many moments with characters we're just not as invested in as the rest.
Vikings' final season slumps during the middle, struggling to tie-off certain storylines with characters who never quite grabbed hold as they should have, but the final few chapters, which juxtapose the serene settlement of a new land, with old lands being soaked in blood for the sake of "glory," make for a thrilling and poignant climax. For those of you in need of more epic Viking tales, Vikings: Valhalla is currently in production for Netflix -- and is set roughly 100 years after the events depicted in Vikings and will include appearances by famous Vikings from history like Leif Erikson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Harald Hardrada, and William the Conqueror.
Vikings' final season goes out in a blaze of glory, as the show both draws upon Ragnar's legacy to both reopen old wounds and explore new lands. The show struggles a bit, in the middle of the season, to wrangle and funnel its very large ensemble into its endgame -- and not every character is one you'd hoped to be following as the saga wraps up -- b...
