I'm still going to watch Vikings, but this will probably be the last season for me. I don't know who decided Ivar was an interesting character, but I certainly don't concur. Characters switch allegiances constantly and for no reason other than the writers didn't know what else to do. Lagertha must be in her 50s by now and hasn't aged a day. Nothing makes sense on this show anymore.
I think peak Vikings (probably season 2) is probably better than any single season of The Last Kingdom in terms of pure quality entertainment, but the last few seasons of Vikings have descended into chaos as the writers throw stuff against a wall and see what sticks. I'm much more excited about TLK than Vikings.
Edit: I just saw another of your previous posts where you mention TLK. Anyway let this post serve as an advertisement to Vikings fans for TLK. If you like Vikings, I think you'll enjoy The Last Kingdom quite a bit as well.
If I also despise Ivar the Useless? Absolutely! I had my fair share of rants in the comment section of many,many Viking clips on Youtube. I hate him with passion - all his damn plot armour.
This one is a total remainer of the the camp Lagertha/Björn. If they kill them off - and they killed Guthrum!!! - I'm out.
PS: I also hardly cared for Ragnar and Egbert before the died. And what did they do to Floki...why always this religious bullshit => Lost, Battelstar Galactica...
PS: I also got the first two season on blu-ray...now Netflix. Awesome that they picked it up...but they tend to keep it available online only.
