Critic Reviews for Vikings: Season 5
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (1)
Rather than the renewal I was hoping for in the back half of Season 5, the show continues to falter, an unfortunate mix of melodrama, one-note characters and absurd fantasy parading as historical fiction.
While it may lack the budget or the big names of that show, Vikings nonetheless still engages, entertains and enthralls, thanks to a winning cast, grounded-in-history plotlines and bloody battles and sexy moments that push the boundaries.
Michael Hirst's decision to balance the psychological intrigue of Lagertha and Floki's situations with the actions of Ivar and his Christian foes gets the story off to a magnificent start.
Vikings season 5 may feel like the show is starting over but it does so confidently, and without erasing the past.
In a distant land where mountains chug inky blackness into the sky and waves crash on infinite beaches, Floki finds what he believes to be his destiny.
In a two-part premiere entertainingly packed with incident and undeniably affecting moments, the pieces all have enough luster to at least give hope that they will fit together in a new, compelling shape.
