Tensions mount between the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok as the Vikings continue to threaten the very heart of England. As the Great Army moves to take York, with King Aethelwulf and his family still in hiding, Heahmund, the warrior bishop, must rally the Saxons to defend the Realm. (History Channel)
Reviews (2)
Another very slow start, crowned by a mediocre battle for York, which at times seemed almost sloppy. It starts with cardboard sets and ends with bland combat.

The first episode of the fifth season was rich in funerals (up to 2) and farewells (up to 4), but apart from that, there was also enough space for the demonic, sneaky Ivar, who I sympathize with because I could match his speed, and thanks to Harald, I expect Lagertha to get involved as well. I was satisfied with the action, but I didn't really like the character of Bishop Heahmund, I probably won't get used to him.
