Reviews (2)
Even the twelfth episode didn't really impress me, although it is true that it could have been much worse. The problem with the fifth season is mainly that it lacks everything that made me like the series. The former high-quality action practically disappeared, planning cunning intrigues made way for completely futile conversations, and now it's just about who, when, and with whom is involved.

The main line moves to England, with the Bishop assuming the role of saviour and liberator. Well, at least for some time. Only the unfolding love story between him and Lagertha can't be trusted, or doesn't feel authentic. Two good murders at the end hopefully foreshadow that there will be some blood in this otherwise sterile fifth season, which has been unnecessarily long and drawn out.
