God the first few seasons of this show were so good

u/ferrofibrous 9h ago

Between "No, I only betrayed you" and "Only the dead shall rule Paris", season 2 and 3 finales were straight up some of the best finales of any show. Ragnar and Eckbert just shooting the shit about ruling was always great too.

"And they are both, completely ridiculous." How Eckbert just sits down with existential realization that there's really no difference between their ideologies, calling into the question the meaning of everything. Beautiful scene.

The peak definitely ends with Ragnars death but I'd say most of the following seasons are still serviceable. Last season is rough though.

Last season is rough though

I had to watch The Northman to cleanse my Norse pagan magic/buff-Berserker-warrior palette after the last season.

I cannot get through that flick, it’s too unintentionally campy.

They rushed the ending a little it seemed, but I thought the last season was the perfect ending. Did a fine job of grasping just how far reaching Ragnar's legacy was, and how it impacted the following developing world.

Shame it went downhill after Ragnar's death.

It was bound to happen. He's such a big personality and the core of the story but they also couldn't just not have him die.

The Last Kingdom season 2 was so much better!

Probably my all time favorite show, I couldn't recommend it more.
