Vikings - Season 4 - Review

This season feels like they want to show us how when a great person comes to an end or a great Era comes to an end it loses its characteristics. It’s soul, there’s a lot going on with many details but at a slow pace and it’s just not as interesting or exciting as the last three seasons.

I think from peak to a very low paced momentum of the show wasn’t very smart. But this season is going to take you longer to watch, there’s something depressing about it.

Don’t get me wrong, the fight scenes are still great, perfectly done, very talented choreographers, and Ragnar and Lagertha and the rest of the Vikings show the usual strength throughout the fight scenes. But everyone is lost, the writers, the actors, the scenes and incidents.

They lost fights, they lost their motives, and their belief in Ragnar. He lost belief in himself. I think the creators of the show did not have a choice but to become lost. I think this reflects history perfectly. Strong men create great times, great times create weak men, weak men create hard times.

The season starts off with Ragnar becoming an opium addict because he falls in love with the Asian slave that tells him this is Medicine and things become so boring that I will kill myself. Rollo goes back to his old self, betrays Ragnar again, and starts making way and plans for the destruction of the Vikings.
