Viking Ragnar Lothbrok is a young farmer and family man who is frustrated by the policies of Earl Haraldson, his local chieftain who sends his Viking raiders east to the Baltic states and Russia, whose residents are as poor as the Norsemen. Ragnar wants to head west, across the ocean, to discover new civilizations. With assistance from his friend Floki, Ragnar builds a faster, sleeker fleet of boats to help him make it to the Western world. Through the years Ragnar, who claims to be a direct descendant of the god Odin, continues to struggle with Earl until the two face each other in a final battle for supremacy. Following that, Ragnar goes on a search for new lands to conquer.

The thrills take their time, but when they come, they come with a mighty rush. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 12/05/2019
We can never be certain about how well a series will nail the ending, but at least with "Vikings," the fandom's faith can lean on a firmer foundation based in history and demonstrated skill as opposed to spectacle and whim Go to Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club 12/05/2019

Which, again, fun. But for a show struggling to recapture the sense of sweep and character it initially promised, Ivar's new pal is leading him, and us, down a well-trod path to the same bloodied ground. Go to Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 01/04/2021

Vikings has been nominated for a string of Emmy awards, in categories ranging from editing to special visual effects, but has yet to receive any. An absolute travesty. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

J P @NotZeppoMarx Jun 9 I didn't think it could get worse than season 5. I was wrong. They should have stopped after the disappointment of season 4. See more Aprilx21st T @Aprilx21st May 29 Sad it came to end but this is one of those shows I'd rewatch over and over from S1 to S6. Lol I think it might be time to watch again actually... 😅 See more MrDonut T @RT75251449 Apr 29 the weakest season of the show but still really good See more Petra C. @Petra420 Nov 13 Everyone's character growth is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend watching this from season 1 all the way to season 6 somewhere in the middle it does start to slow down and the storyline drags a bit but it's still very good. I was very surprised at everyone's character growth, especially Floki. after what he did to one of my favorite characters I was like I don't like floki but then he grew on me See more Sol B @RT95869591 Nov 9 One of the most careless and thoughtless endings to a successful long-running series I have seen. The frequent character deaths, little to no introduction for the new and poorly cast "actors/actresses" and the poor finale marks the miserable yet recurring failings of modern television. 20 episodes in season 6 including 2 or 3 full episodes of slow-motion, just what we needed. Fumbled harder than game of thrones. Disappointed, but am I surprised? Sadly not. See more InWillietus J @RT63700643 12/28/2024 This has to be the worst season of all. I am so dissapointed in the writing, killing off characters and just creating new lousy ones. Also they completely destroy the reputation of vikings season 1 with Ragnar Lothbrok and they keep milking Ragnars name. SOOO BAAAD See more Read all reviews
