Vikings - Season 2 - Review

You start realizing that the cast in this series is very well picked, they worked really hard to get into these very well written characters and how they’re built. The plot is just amazing too, everybody is wise, clear, and specific. There isn’t any vagueness or details unrevealed. You start falling in love with Ragnar and understand the complexity and consequences that shape him as half myth, a half-real character from this time.

They also introduce some very interesting characters to the stories, kings, armies, and people, as well as introducing their beliefs and cultures too. They get rid of a few characters in beautifully written twists and ending to their characters in the show as the king of Wessex.

There is also the complicated relationships between Ragnar and his men. Those who promised to follow his lead and his beliefs to go to Britain, now start to change or show the real them as jealous and greedy Vikings. Floki’s character is my favorite in this show, as a Norseman.

We start seeing Floki getting so angry with Ragnar’s actions and start to slowly let his frustration with his friend lead to his betrayal. There are great plot twists to the events of the show.

We also see his brother, Rollo, betraying him out of jealousy and attention-seeking intentions which is a very real twist in my opinion and adds great drama to the show. I think it’s fair to say this season is pretty interesting but not the best yet.
