I don't know why many people are outraged by the ending, for me it all ended so logically and beautifully. It ended with the end of the Viking Age, literally and figuratively, as it should have been... The most amazing thing is that I always thought that Hvitserk was the son who was about to be killed in the end, but he also survived. There were a lot of references to Ragnar, which pleasantly ended the series, because lately not only people, as Ivar said, began to forget Ragnar, but as if the series itself had already forgotten about it with its script. In fact, it was only at the end with these flashbacks with Ragnar that I realized that all the sons really look like him, just not everyone took the best parts of him, they dispersed for each son. Bjorn was a true warrior, just like his father, but alas, he did not have the same mind as him, which is why he lost everything in the end. By the way, his death seems to me much stupider than Ivar's. Ubba has always been a farmer and a traveler. Somehow, he got enough from his father in addition to the above-mentioned qualities: wit, meekness, and wisdom. He and Torvi reminded Ragnar and Lagertha so much in this episode at the very beginning of the series. Even Torvi's pigtails were braided like Lagertha's in the first seasons, or maybe I just want to see what I want, of course) In any case, Ubba is handsome, he didn't end up wasting a good wife, found fertile land, just mission complete. And yes, again, thanks for the Floki, even though the piano is in the bushes, if you think about it carefully, but come on, all the old men have already been cut down. The joke with Ragnar and the boat has gone) Again, it inspired nostalgia, as Ragnar once came to Floki with his dream of England and his whole brain took it out that if Floki built a quiet and fast ship, then they would get a quick victory. Ivar... at the moment of his death, I also thought that what the hell, why the hell did Ivar allow himself to be killed like that?! And then I remembered Hvitzerk's words about his eyes, which turn even bluer when his bones break. Ivar would soon be unable to walk even with a limp, but only crawl, Ivar could not continue to live in this way, he was stupidly tired. And so he died in battle, standing on his feet, surrounded by his army, like a king, so that he could definitely get to Valhalla. In fact, he was afraid that he would not be able to die in a decent way later, even if he discarded the moments with the seer. The hardest and saddest death, because he suffered all this time and so wanted to be a real warrior. Ivar got the most brilliant mind of his father, but also his rage, rigidity, which was really terrifying, also did not allow him to achieve what he wanted to the end. It is strange now to remember how Ragnar wanted to kill him as a baby in the forest, and here he lies dead on the battlefield in England in the arms of Hvitzerk. Hvitzerk seemed to bring into reality a part of Ragnar's soul, which actually converted to Christianity because of Attelstan's influence. Ironically, at the time of baptism, Alfred was wearing the same cross that Ragnar had from Attelstan, then he passed to Alfred, and Hvitzerka calls Alfred by the new Christian name Attelstan. A pleasant reference, of course, but what was the essence of Hvitzerk's existence, apart from the application to one or the other brother, is still not clear. Apparently, the purpose of his life was to finish off Lagertha at some point. 😒 Again, to sum up, I see no point in being outraged, since all the lines were closed, all the characters got a suitable ending, the ending of the same Game of Thrones was much dumber. P.S. Now I will probably get a bunch of cons for comparing with IP, but still I will take a chance
@LianaSkyfall: I just support you with all my hands and feet! I don't even have anything to add to your review! This is one of the best endings of one of the best TV series on the planet) After the Releases, it was sad, and then it also became sad that it was already the end. But everything is very logical and beautiful!
@LianaSkyfall: Thanks for the wonderful comment. I would say it perfectly complements the ending, as an afterword. After reading it, all the lines are really closed.
Hvitserk switches from mushrooms to opium, and then to Christianity, Harald was never lucky with a woman, cranberries and Oleg's slow mo, a fight for a whale, Ingrid eventually rules Kattegat, Ivar's line was generally checked and some kind of upgrade was made with the eyes. Well, at least we didn't completely fuck up with Ubbe and Bjorn - we finished it normally. I was pleased with Floki's return and I like Alfred - he will be a good king. Well, the music in the series is always on top. The last couple of seasons have definitely been some kind of trash - it's good that the series is over now. I really love the first seasons of the Vikings and will most likely review them.
@DixonsWings: I thought it would be a little dumber with a whale) It's like it's going to explode when that dude gets on it, and they say it's a sign of the gods. The only thing I didn't understand, Flocky told Ubbe that the leader (or whoever she is) he looks so intently because his eyes are blue, and this is a danger to them. But in the frame they are straight green, although they used to be blue.
@DeanVenture: they always shot in such a cold blue color, and when they sailed to this island, the palette changed to green. As for the eyes, I think it's kind of a metaphor with a new Viking view of life)
Well, it's time to write a little sheet after watching this series. The first seasons looked like a volley, there was an intriguing plot, and wonderful characters like Ragnar, Lagertha and Loki (special thanks that at least at the end of the series they returned it to us again), I'm sure that these three will be cosplayed for many years to come, draw art with them, etc. The series set the bar very high back then. Alas, after Ragnar's death, the screenwriters could not surpass themselves or at least stay at the same level. But there were all the chances, Ragnar had FIVE SONS left, with them it was possible to wind up such a lot of moves if desired. As a result, mostly some nonsense came out: one son was killed immediately, the second was turned into a spineless drug addict, the beautiful Ubbe got lost against the background of Ivar and Bjorn and just sailed away, and then Ivar himself got bogged down in the senseless plot of Oleg, Rusov, Igor, etc.
The final fuss in England at least put an end to Ivar and thanks for that. It's ironic that Hvitserk survived after all, I thought that he would be put in the front ranks in the battle with Alfred, but anyway, at least he finished with drug addiction. I am very happy for Ubba, an extremely pleasant character who will now start living a new life.
In the end, I just want to say that I'm not sorry for the time spent on recent seasons, because they also had good moments, but it's a shame that the once magnificent series in many aspects just slipped, no matter how banal it sounds. It seems that a spin-off has already been announced, but there is practically no desire to watch it.
What wonderful music is in this series and throughout this series, a delight. I'll miss you, it's very immersive.
- Do you have any advice, Floki? - Advice? Always take stones out of your shoe. That's good advice.
Alas, the season is three for me. Even considering that it is the last one, the creators could not express anything intelligible on the screen. In general, it seemed that by the time of Ragnar's death, the creators had squeezed everything out of themselves, and then let it take its course. But I will definitely miss the first seasons.
What kind of battle was there anyway? I didn't like the series, and the season wasn't very good either. I will review the first seasons, before Ragnar's death.
@Elik33: in general, I was shocked by how quickly the Vikings "ended" and the two brothers found themselves surrounded by enemies. Somehow it looked fast, sharp, and ridiculous. Basically, like a lot of things this season.
And the situation with the murder for gold is also insanely infuriating. More precisely, with his motivation. In the new world, wealth is clearly not measured in gold. I don't think you can buy much for it. And what used to be possible to buy houses for it is here in abundance. Besides, the idea of taking him home could only come from an even bigger loony than Flocky. In short, it's utter nonsense.
@SergFischer: this probably means that people cannot live peacefully and happily. As in our dreams, let's go to a new place and live, yes. But we take ourselves to a new place with us.)
@all_lavender: Netflix will release a sequel to the historical series "Vikings", which airs on the History channel. Over the show "Vikings: Valhalla" ("Vikings. Valhalla") the original author Michael Hurst will work. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has ordered the production of 24 episodes of the series. http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/45121/vikings-valhalla
As a result, Norway again has no supreme, and nooname rules in Kattegat, yes) Oh well, even that looks better than that..(I spare you spoilers) King of Kings/Queen of Queens/deer woman deer woman from the finale of Game of Thrones. But the plot of Bjorn and Ubbe is straight 10/10.
p.s. Special thanks to the series for an excursion into the Middle Ages and an introduction to the affairs of the local nobility. Now I understand why it was impossible to go to war on just anyone, and what is the difference between the feudal system and the clan one. p.s.s. Throw + in response to this comment if, like me, I bought a pro account to write a comment on the merged season here :D
Yeah... Who is in power in Kattegat? Two slaves who don't understand anything about the board at all. No merit... the ending is so-so. I was only pleased with the Ubbe line. Hvitserk went from extreme to extreme. Then drugs, then Christianity. 😂
Vikings, of course, did not become my favorite series . In principle, the first seasons were not bad . A lot of beautiful shots, memorable characters, interesting plot twists
of course, I would like to have more correspondence with historical facts , I understand that the series is a free interpretation of legends and legends, but somewhere it was possible not to invent banal, not to make Orthodox Russia under Oleg
and I also disliked filling time with the most boring and empty lines (take at least the whole story of the Flocka settlement).
Now about the final Ivara, I'm sorry , this character infuriated me in the first appearances, but over time he grew up a lot and got a good development
Hvitserk has a strange ending Why did he change his faith so suddenly? and decided to stay in England? what were the prerequisites for this in general?
It is strange that everyone accepted the new rulers of Kattegat so easily... actually two former slaves , but although this witch is quite smart and cunning Maybe something will come out of this
Well, let's just say that the sole proprietor has set a pretty high bar for blunt endings. And no matter how the Vikings in the plot after the drug crisis of Ragnar lay down, they still did not reach this level. The acting, the effects, the picture, the music, the feeling of mysticism and the presence of the gods, all this remained. Thank you for not stretching another 5 seasons, everything has already been reduced to meaningless battles and sex in between. In general, everything ended logically. Ragnar and Lagertha received their dramatic and heroic deaths. Floki - peace and life in beautiful new lands. Ragnar's sons spent most of the plot dangling like logs in the open sea, but frankly, none of them had the qualities that their father had and made him a hero. That is, of course, they were, but everyone has their own. If you put all four together, you would get one full-fledged Ragnar. In the end, Bjorn died stupidly, but spectacularly, as befitted someone who was called Ironside. Ivar took advantage of what was probably his last opportunity to die as a warrior. Hvitserk traded opium for Christianity, there is nothing to be surprised at. Ubba fulfilled his father's dream, stumbled upon new lands and was smart enough not to start a war. It's clear that nothing was going on around all this time, but it was quite interesting to watch the second half of the season. And, of course, ideally, the series should have been closed even after Ragnar's death, but we have what we have. And to call the ending completely merged, I still can't turn my tongue. Everything was put in its place, although the feelings after watching are really mixed.
The writers put a big bolt on the series and the audience, and sent all the logic up their ass.
The deaths of Oleg, Gunhilda, Harold and Ivar are perceived in much the same way as Morgenstern's farting in Timothy's track. One went crazy and came out of the balcony, the second decided to drown herself and teleport to Valhalla, the third got lost altogether, and the last one was stabbed by some kid with a penknife. Although it is worth paying tribute: they prescribed endings for everyone. It's very fucked up, of course, but they prescribed it, they didn't forget about anyone.
Two completely leftist women - former slaves, not even warriors - remained to rule in Kattegat. Everyone is fine.
The symbolism of religions and magic was presented quite interestingly in the first seasons, in the same place everything was shifted into a pile, it turned out to be complete nonsense.
The only thing that pleased me was that the Floki branch was closed normally.
I don't understand the positive reviews, sorry. If I could have seen the last season, I wouldn't have watched it. A perfect example of the fact that if the script is shit, then no stunningly beautiful picture and talented actors will save the narrative.
Your mother, how could you take everything off so beautifully, but so pointlessly? I just don't get it. I do not understand
@vladafoxy: it's just plain obvious that no one gave a shit about the finale except the cameraman and the composer. In which ukur they came up with the idea of putting two slaves on the throne of Kattegat, it's scary to even think
Well, what can I say? They started for health, and ended for peace. After Ragnar's death, everything went wrong. The Viking age has passed, two former slaves are at the head of the Kattegat in some incredible way (and everything suits everyone, I see), the storyline of Russia is stupid, did not lead to anything, probably it was needed only for Bjorn's death. And even if so, this does not negate the absolute mediocrity in writing Oleg as a character. Iceland's line would have been about 90% as mediocre if it hadn't been for the Floki at the end. However, Iceland is the Ubbe line, what's the point here.
Of all the sons, I still did not understand what the weather vane in the person of Hvitzerk was for. He's with one brother, then with another, then a drug addict, then suddenly a Christian. Apparently, he is needed to kill Lagertha, that's the meaning of life.
As a result, only Ubbe managed to achieve what his father wanted. Perhaps this is the best and brightest part of the second half of the sixth season. Although, of course, all the brothers, even though they got something from Ragnar, even if they got together they would not become Ragnar, although everyone had something from him.
I would like to note that the camerawork and the work of the composers have not changed, probably, since the first season, but only got better. From the bottom of my heart, it's very beautiful, incredible landscapes. The music was written by Wardruna, it is not surprising that there was such a gap in the seasons. Special thanks for Fever Ray as the title theme.
I think if I'm going to review it, it's only until the fourth season. It's better this way. And the brothers will still be alive, and Lagertha.
Phew, you guys are exhausted. And we, and the cast, and the showrunners. No matter how shit the last seasons have been, but the last three episodes are already up to goosebumps and tears. It was a great series that we spent many years with. But let's pretend that just as the Clinic does not have a 9th season, so the Vikings do not have a sequel after Ragnar's death. Not today, friends, not today...
Unexpectedly, but I really liked the ending. He was handsome. The lines are closed. Ivar's death seems logical, apparently there was a limit to his illness, bones began to break, and he did not want to become helpless, suffer from pain and be remembered by everyone as an invalid, so he went and accepted death in the midst of battle, like a warrior, standing on his feet. Ivar and Hvitzerg are not my favorite characters, but I burst into tears while Hvitzerg was saying goodbye to Ivar.
It's amazing how a slave became the queen of Norway, it's just awesome) so many men died for this chair, and some girl got it, and really is a witch))
There is a feeling as if they left their brothers alive, who, if desired and in the right way, personified all the good that was in Ragnar. One travels and discovers new lands, shows mercy, takes care of people. The second, having experienced his fears, drug addiction, and the loss of everything important in life, converts to a new faith and remains in the lands where his father aspired, gaining such a significant name. And the brothers who wanted glory, war, death, got all this and went to Valhalla.
The only thing that problems with Indians evoke thoughts of a spin-off in America))
Let's not lie to ourselves: The Vikings series died with Ragnar. And although his corpse bloomed with all kinds of mold for a long time afterwards, it was no longer possible to return to that magical story that took your breath away in the first three seasons. It's good that they didn't delay any longer, but it's still a little sad. Vikings is an era and a huge fiery part of my heart. The final episodes turned out to be somewhat crumpled: this schematic campaign to England for the sake of a schematic campaign to England and the death of a couple of main characters, not fully disclosed Indians... Well, come on. Ivar is not sorry, I have never felt sympathy for him, a tyrant and a bastard will not fix anything. But his love for Hvitzerk even touched me in the end. Hvitzerk became a participant in the cycle of Ethelstans in nature. WELL... Well, at least they've put it somewhere, everything won't be lying around in dens. Kattegat won in the nomination "#Rukalitso". Ingrid is a completely empty character, like Eric, and all these others. What did they try to make out of it? Why this femme agenda at the end? How was this even possible? So many questions, so few answers. But Ubbe and Floki, that's great, of course. Simple, pure, sincere. And so, as if they hadn't finished, as if there were still many, many things ahead. I remembered how the series began: with a bang in the forehead, it immediately flew into some unknown battle, as if we had been following it for a long time and were aware of what was going on. He left the same way, as if we would all meet in Valhalla tomorrow. Such are these "Vikings". Without beginning, without end. After all, this is love. Thanks!
I think that Hvitserk has nothing left (not at home, he is not expected in Kattegat, he does not know where Ubbe is, Ivar is killed), he has nowhere to go, no one needs him anymore. so he stayed where he was offered a house and at least some option for further life🤷🏻♀️
Dedicated to friends from the 12th series. In episode 12, we all scolded Ivar that he had let it slip in Katka's bed. We were wrong, it seems we are spoiled by TV shows, and we see a plot twist everywhere. They didn't beat it in the end.
There will be a lot of opinions about the ending, someone liked it, someone did not, but let's still agree that the series in general came out decent, with its minuses and pluses, at least I love this theme and got high, thank you, Ragnar and Lagertha🖤🙌
In those first days after the drain of all the episodes, when spoilers fell and I read several times that the finale was a mess, I decided that this was just the opinion of other people, which would not intersect with mine. So that's me being naive. There is no final. It's just nothing. Somehow it's not like that.…
I can't forgive how quickly and crumpled Ivar's death was shown. The Vikings have very beautiful rituals and when Ivar died, I expected something symbolic and strong to make me cry, as it was with the deaths of Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn. Does a character who has been dragging himself for the last two years deserve to be just put in the middle of a field in pebbles in 5 seconds?! No!
I will not write about the other characters. The guys above have already said a lot of things that I agree with.
If I decide to review the series, I'll skip the last two seasons. And to those who are just going to watch it (oh, how I envy you guys!) I advise you to watch the first 4 seasons, well, maybe the first half of the 5th and stop there.
Goodbye, Vikings! Thank you for such a rich and interesting story!
It was a great series and the most fucked up season! For 2 battles, of course, thanks to the writers, but the best thing about this season is, of course, the appearance of Flocka! I was really happy with each of his appearances, as if I had started watching the series all over again! Ivar's death, I didn't really understand this story with blue eyes. It was also very infuriating that he had somehow become dramatically healthy this season. Then he stood on his feet confidently, that even in battle he turned around as if nothing had happened. I made Katya a baby. In general, a strange moment was in the middle of the battle: Ivar yells, Alfred stands and looks as if there are no fights nearby. Ubbe always liked him and I am very glad that everything turned out great for him – and he had a good wife, and he found the land, and he kept his wisdom. Hvitserk is now a Christian Ethelstan – this was also a funny reference) In general, I expected him to die of drug addiction. I didn't realize that he had been obsessed with killing Ivar for so long to end up hugging and crying over his passing. In general, what is Hvitserk remembered for, other than the murder of Lagertha? There's some kind of tin in Kattegat. This Ingrid was infuriating from the very first appearance. It's a pity at least Rollo wasn't shown in flashbacks. It's just not pretty in relation to the first cast. I'm going to miss you!
I have never been so happy as the end of this season. It was boring, I had to watch at 1.5 speeds, sometimes I squandered entire episodes with new insignificant characters of the season.
Why do many people like Floki? He is completely unpleasant to me, because he is the one who started a chain of negative events, who constantly made any story worse than ever, systematically caused confusion and doubted everyone except the Gods, whom even the people closest to him refused or began to treat them more simply. The gods are not the meaning, the Gods are the means, it was this attitude that allowed Ragnar Lodbrok to achieve great success.
@gnom993: so he's changed too. He infuriated me and I was not going to forgive him for the murder of Athelstan, but then he lost all his loved ones, tried to build communism in Iceland, and there he was already the most adequate of those present, then he laughed ridiculously at the cross in the mountain. After going through all this and staying alive, he gained wisdom in simplicity, which no one else in the series has.
Ivar left with dignity, although I hoped that he would still return to Kattegat and fill up the dreary nedokoroleva. The only thing that confused him was that he and Hvitserk were hugging in the middle of the battle, Alfred was looking at the whole thing, and cheliki were waving swords around them. In a real battle, they would have been hacked up long ago. The fact that Hvitserk became a Christian was not surprising at all. He was like that the whole series, he didn't know where to go. Well, at least he can get off the drugs. Of course, they disappointed with Kattegat, they left this dreary one to rule. What kind of queen is she? Perhaps they wanted to show the gradual decline of the Viking age. Oh, such a country was fucked up)) The ending was very satisfying. Ubbe and Floki's dialogue is the best moment of the series. Because of the joke about Ragnar and Drakkar, I want to review the first seasons)
- Ragnar: Ivar, be merciless! Apart..and all of them there! - Ivar: Yeah!!! I'll tear them all up! I want power and glory for the ages! That's all I live for! The last episode: - The king of the Saxons does not just give away his wealth and power, just because Ivar glares at him from under his forehead - Ivar: No? Then I went to die\_(ツ)_/
I really hoped that the old actors would be called to the finale and show how Ragnar and his sons were feasting in Valhalla. It would be beautiful. But instead, the ending turned out to be somewhat bleak.
I haven't watched this series for years like others, but just looked at all the seasons in a month, because I became interested in this topic after the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla (by the way, it has Ubbe, Ivar, Harald, Rollo and Alfred). The first 3 seasons were just a volley, the story of Ragnar was very interesting. But then the series dropped very sharply in quality. Watching Ivar rave about being a god for the entire 5th season was simply unbearable. And the plot in Iceland was too long. I'm not talking about the branch of Christian Russia in season 6 at all, it's just trash. I can't imagine how you endured so much waiting for new episodes and got this. The series slid hard after Ragnar's death.
Although I would say that he slipped a little earlier. When Ragnar was transporting ships overland for months, he got into a fight with Rollo and stupidly went home, and then disappeared for a dozen years. It was very strange and uncharacteristic of the character. The characters generally behaved strangely (take the same attitude of Hvitserk to Ivar, which changed by 180 degrees). What annoyed me the most was that this series was about endless betrayals. They betray or discuss future betrayal in almost every episode. Sometimes it was for almost no reason.
There is no sense of historicity here either. It's enough to sit on Wikipedia for 15 minutes to understand that the series is not just unreliable - it looks more like fan fiction. Not even all of Ragnar's sons are in it (where is Halfdan?), and their mothers are different. It was hard to watch the last 2 seasons. But, overall, the series is not bad. The original cast was good, the battles were not bad, and it was also great that they showed the culture and customs of the Vikings.
@DeadDanny: The series is not strictly historical and is based on Scandinavian sagas about the Viking raids of the early Middle Ages on Anglo-Saxon Britain and the West Frankish Kingdom. The key character of the series is the legendary, known only from the Old Norse sagas, Viking King Ragnar Lodbrok, who, according to legends, descended from the god Odin, as well as his sons, friends and his first wife Lagertha, second wife Aslaug, and other historical characters such as King Harald the Fair-haired of Norway, King Alfred the Great of England and others.
@nebula_v: that is, the idiocy in the form of an unexpected reconciliation of the Vikings with the Angles did not bother you in any way and you seriously consider such an ending beautiful?
@Irish_Ethan: I no longer pay attention to the plot, there is no logic there for a long time. And about "beautiful" I meant the quality of the picture, how it was shot and how it was played. And for all that, it's not such a terrible ending. I'm personally satisfied with how we finished, that's all :)
The series was able to be completed qualitatively, all storylines are closed. The last episodes of season 6 remind us what the series was like in the beginning.
We completed it very abruptly. It's a very cool series. There were of course uncomfortable moments sometimes, but everything can't be perfect. The ending certainly pleased with a good ending, IP8 is not even close. Thank you for the plot, the costumes, the acting and the cast. Everything was great!!!
It was very cool that the sons reflected every feature of Ragnar! Ubbe- agriculture, Ivar - aggressive conqueror, Hvitzerk - converted to Christianity! There is a lot of meaning in the ending, don't look so one-sided!
Ivar was poked with a file by some nouname.< we could have done something more epic to stir up such an ambiguous hero for the finale. There was even a powerful shot when Ivar seemed to be controlling the wars around him, but oh well. Hvitserk has found himself a new opium, in Kattegat.. I don't even want to write about it. I am happy for Ubbe and Floki - peace and a new life. Thanks to the series for the adventure, beautiful views and excellent musical accompaniment. Someday I will definitely review the first couple of seasons, where everyone is young and alive)))
To summarize 1) The history of the Categate is a sad shit, it's not clear why at all. 2) The story of Kiev - this story of some Tatars living in a miniature fortress the size of my cottage, is complete nonsense. 3) Blond and the story of Ubbe is a bright spot against the background of dull trash. 4) Hvitserk and Ivor are whiners who have nothing to do after Kiev. Why did you come to England? What for? Well, Ivor's death is a complete ppts, you can't think of a worse fusion of the character. 5) King Alfred - just no comment, a squishy Barbershop! In some ways, he looks like a German. The same fiasco as Game of Thrones!
I'm sorry, Ragnar, we fucked up everything...........
After the 16th episode, the series began to gain momentum. Because there was a lot to fit in. And it breathed in the spirit of the first seasons, when there were 10 episodes each. The line with Ubbe was the most interesting in recent episodes. The final of the brothers also came in. The end of the series is decent. If you remove all the nonsense about Russians in the first half of season 6, then I would put a solid four.
Well... In general, I liked the way the series ended. The moment of Ubbe and Floki😊 But the battle...There are no words... What was that all about? I thought Ivar would have a more dignified death.
Why were these ten episodes filmed at all? And in general, this whole season?! The dreary despondency. The first seasons were very interesting- intrigues, battles, everything is beautiful, everything is in the Viking genre. Here, I did not understand at all why they went to fight in England again, these stories with nomadism, and in general, I repeat, the season is about nothing, just snot. I am only glad that we have finally finished, or rather merged.
It is a pity that the creators rewrote the historical facts in the last series. After all, according to legend, Ivar won this battle, became king of England and lived to a ripe old age. And when he died, he bequeathed to bury himself in a mound on the shore so that his bones would protect this land and no one could conquer it. And it was only when William the Conqueror excavated the mound and burned the bones that he was able to conquer England. Ah. what an epic ending it would have been if filmed according to this legend.
@Kookaburra: I haven't seen Ivar in kings in the history of England. Legend is legend, but Alfred ruled for a long time. Another thing is that Ivar could have been earlier in time than these times.
@SvetlanaNikitina: Это же легенда. https://is.gd/RUA6gG И не забывайте, что Йорк это бывшая столица земель викингов в Англии. Альфред это король Уэссекса, а ведь была ещё Нортумбрия и Мерсия, которые были полностью завоёваны викингами.
Как же красиво всё-таки обиграли всех! В конце,когда Хвицека крестили, подумала что «вот, что у него от Рагнара»! Круто, конечно, что во всех сыновьях прослеживаются чёрточки Рагнара❤️
Для начала скажу что искренне не понимаю всю ненависть к сериалу после смерти Рагнара. Для меня сериал от начала и до конца на одном уровне с периодическими просадками, ну с кем не бывает На историчность мне вот искренне пофиг было всегда, сериал в первую очередь про символизм (который тут просто ахуенный, настолько доходчивый, что провалится в спгс невозможно), про смакование культуры викингов (посему и пришлось так сказать скукожить многие исторические моменты), про войну религий и про просто ахуенные битвы. Вот серьезно, я таких махачей не видел более нигде, тут просто ИДЕАЛЬНЫЙ баланс между зрелищностью и реализмом. Вот просто браво Про техническую сторону, музыку, актеров и тд и говорить нечего О, ну и конечно мне очень понравился сюжетный ход где сыновья Рагнара каждый символизировал какой то аспект его личности, типа, персонаж умер, но живёт. И было крайне интересно наблюдать к какому концу пришёл каждый. А Фицштрех (ваще не могу его запомнить лол) и вовсе оказался ходячим твистом! А то наблюдаю за ним, и думаю, мб в мать свою бесполезную пошёл, от Рагнара ноль, а тут хуяк...ХРИСТИАНСТВО (тут сверху хорошо заметили как от наркоты перешел на опиум для народа, за такую тонкость авторам плюсик) Сюжетка Уббе приятная. Опять же до меня уже заметили что лучшие черты Рагнара в итоге выжили). Мораль его линии - мудаков из своих надо вытравливать всеми способами, иначе страдать будут все Флоки-любовь. И ваще, топить за Одина, противостоять христьянству, на старость лет тусануть с индейскими язычниками и в итоге достичь дзена - вот это я называю духовный путь :D Ивар - мой любимый сын рагнара. Умный, хитрый, до ужаса харизматый (моё увожение актеру), с сильным духом. Не без минусов, но не зря в конце Рагнар "выбрал" именно его. И умер в своей нестандартной манере
@DonDim47: Ну а финальная сцена... теплая, дружеская, медового сладкая, семейная, уютная, смешная, мудрая, милая боооож ты мой! Если она не сгладила для вас все ваши "минусы" к этому сериалу, то ну вас...
Да и вообще, некий спад во второй половине сериала хорошо играет на мета смысл всего произведения. В последних сериях нам прямо говорят что золотой век викингов прошёл, так в итоге и происходит. Рагнар как символ их культуры - умирает, все сыновья до бати все таки не дотягивают, из за чего в итоге и настал их закат.
По мне так КРАСИВО. А историчность? Да и черт с ней честно говоря
Так что сериал от и до просто отличный, с самого начала несет свои основополагающие идеи/мысли и доводит их до своего конца. Всё
...а еще в сериале ни одного негра и на них при этом никто не подал в суд, вау 0_0
...а после смерти Флоки спиздит лодку у Харона и ваще в какую нибудь шангри-ла отправится по приколу, а чебы нет? Ба обожаю этого чудака
Сериал клёвый вышел, даже несмотря на откровенно более слабые сезоны после смерти Рагнара. Однако были и интересные линии в целом. Эпоха настоящих викингов-воинов закончилась. Два сына остались живы и отчасти исполнили желания и стремления отца. Они в целом были самые миролюбивые. Жаль, конечно, что Бьёрн погиб, он был шикарен, смотрела наверное отчасти потому что он хот прям.
В общем 4 из 5, хоть я и очень люблю этот сериал и восхищалась им очень.
@uaSolare: Немного обидно за судьбу Каттегата. Им осталась править ведьма, бывшая рабыня, что как-то бесславно. Но и времена наступают другие после смерти всех великих воинов.
Хочу ещё насчёт битв написать, были хорошие и в 4 и в 5 сезоне, но блин, как по мне самая клёвая все равно была битва во Франкии, это было по настоящему эпично, клёво уместно снято, а не просто размахивание мечами и топорами. В финальной битве сезона по моему как-то забыли про слоумо в битвах и в итоге выглядело это совсем не круто. Ну не знаю, такое вот впечатление.
Очень классный сериал,вызывал всегда шикарные эмоции! По-моему мнению очень эпичный финал. Еще понравилась такая версия,что Уббе и Ивар это две стороны Рагнара. Буду очень скучать,но рада,что вовремя решили завершить сериал. Навсегда в сердечке🥺❤️
Я не знаю, зачем они изнасиловали историю в особо извращенной форме, ибо она - реальная - и так давала миллион прекрасных сюжетов. Ну да Один им судья.
Концовка отличная, как по мне. Не претендую на знатока в сфере сериаловедения: если смотрится, значит уже неплохо. И Викинги смотрелись. Первые сезоны, конечно, были лучшими, потом небольшой провис, но последний - и-де-а-лен. Не соглашайтесь со мной миллион раз, но это самое подходящее завершение сериала - медленный закат золотого века Викингов. Каждый персонаж выполнил своё предназначение: легенды ушли так, как было нужно и обрели покой, а новое поколение осталось в новом мире и будет жить совсем другой жизнью. Выше был просто очешуенный развернутый комментарий про то, как каждый из сыновей Рагнара воплотил в себе самые яркие его черты и получил идеальную концовку своей сюжетной линии... В общем вывод такой: Сериал стоит смотреть. До конца.
Было бы отлично, если бы я из-за своей невнимательности, пропустив 9 серий, сразу бы не посмотрела финальную серию 🤦🏼♀️ Линия Уббе прекрасна, как и природа 😍
Запал в душу момент в начале серии, когда при встрече Уббе и Флоки по вырезанному образу Рагнара стекала капля воды. Как будто он тоже растроган что они наконец то встретились😌
А вообще в последних сериях больше всего понравилась линия Уббе, как они нашли «золотую землю». И соглашусь с мнением большинства, что природа потрясающая, сняли очень красиво 👍🏻
Вот и все. Закончилась эпоха Викингов. Несмотря на посредственные последние сезоны, спасибо создателям за прекрасную историю Рагнара Лодброка, Лагерты, Флоки, Ролло, Эдельстана...их истории запали в душу и мы будем помнить их всегда❤️
я досмотрел Этот сезон, перематывая, алилуя! все, просто рад что это закончилось, как будто ненавистную работу закончил) Поздравлю всех нас любителей поиздеваться над собой! Все закончилось :)
Довольно интересный финал сериала, была очень рада и до последнего надеялась, что Флоки жив) Если так подумать, его сыновья стали теми, кем стремился стать Рагнар. Уббе - открыл новую землю, плодородную и с большими возможностями, Хвицарк - стал христианином, Ивар - его все боялись, Бьерн стал настоящим и великим королем)
Было конечно немало скучных серий на протяжении всего сериала, особенно после Рагнара. Но и сам сериал, и концовка мне по душе, и как закончили все линии сыновей тоже, есть и определенная логика, и неожиданные моменты, и разнообразие. Спасибо за сериал
Я конечно не очень хотел бы докапываться до мелочей, тем более в последней серии. Но каким образом Хвитцерк отрастил себе такую бороду? Ведь у него рост волос совсем не такой. Весь сериал ходит с усиками смешными и бородкой очень редкой, а тут ни с того ни с сего отрастил себе гриву аки поп церковный да похлеще Уббэ. Это в принципе весь мой до*б. По поводу серии целом: я просто рад, что сериал закончился. Персонажей тут сливаюй, мой поклон, великолепно. До сих пор пересматриваю момент со смертью Бьорна. Да, местами были нелепые серии, порой скучные, которые даже на филлерные не тянут. Да, тут история пошла в разрез с эпичносью, но в целом сериал я запомню в в хороших красках. Меня и раньше интересовала скандинавская тематика, а теперь прям хочу поглубже изучить ее. Ну а про саундтрек особо говорить нечего: скандинавский фолк во всей красе. Warduna и Anilah большое спасибо и низкий поклон, без их композиций некоторые моменты были бы нелепыми, и они создали прекрасную атмосферу сериала.
Спасибо этому сериалу за прекрасные эмоции. Помню как бросил сериал на первом сезоне много лет назад, не поняв его, но теперь я рад что посмотрел его во зрелости и увидел много вещей. Лучше уже не снимут!
Отвратительно закончился, ниче не понятно, почему Хвицерк не вернулся, зачем эму это христианство, к чему этот якобы пронзительный взгляд, и откуда блять, такая пышная борода вдруг взялась🤷🏼♀️ в Коттегате новая королева, наследние Рагнара проебано, че у Уббе в голове не ясно. Бреееед! Зачем Флоки показали, ничего полезного тоже не сказал.
Бросал смотреть ещё после смерти Рагнара, но чувство незаконченого дела вернуло, чтоб досмотреть. Уже не то, но Бьорн внушал какие-то чувства скорее пережитки времен Рагнара и после его смерти просто сериал должен был закончится, но нет. И молодцы, что ещё дальше не затянули. В целом сериал пробуждает позитивные чувства, любовь к Норвегии и красивой музыке, которую полюбил с этого сериала. За это огромное спасибо. Слався Конунг Рагнар Лодброк.
Ну от скажіть мені таке: чим авторам не вгодив справжній історичний фінал, в якому Гаральд знайшов собі, нарешті, нормальну бабу і мирно правив у об'єднаній ним же Норвегії, чи його серіальний брат Гальфдан (який за одними даними - його батько, за іншими - син), який аж ніяк не помер від руки брата, а був шанованим законослухняним правителем, після смерті якого (провалився під лід з возом награбованого) 4 частини його тіла розвезли по 4 частинам Норвегії, бо навіть його труп приносив удачу і добрий врожай. Про те, що Гальфдан був одружений на правнучці Рагнара, я промовчу. Це для серіала пустяки.
Чи, може, Івар не заслужив бути королем Ірландії і дожити до самої старості? Найхитріший і найрозумніший син Рагнара просто взяв і самовбився? Ну ок, інвалід. В сагах, до речі, безкостним він був через гнучкість, але ми це опустимо. Чому Гальфдан, син Рагнара, відомий як Хвітцерк, був то алкашом, то наркоманом, то штундом, а не правителем половини Англії? А чи сини Бйорна не стали королями Швеції, а діти Сігурда - Ютландії та Зеландії? До речі, саме на внучці Сігурда одружився Гальфдан Чорний, батько Гаральда. І один лише Убба чесно загинув у бою з васалом Альфреда. Але у віці, куди ближчому до того, який він мав у "Останньому королівстві". Як і всі згадані тут люди, які дожили до солідних років.
До чого я це все веду. Читайте, люди, історію. Вона набагато цікавіша за те, що нам показують.
Сложно передать все негодование от 6 сезона, просто нет слов - какой же бред напридумывали сценаристы... 1-4 сезоны шедевральны, 5 еще терпим, за счет линии Альфреда в том числе, но 6 просто ********......
Очень жаль, что сериал все таки снимали в разрез с историей, иначе получился бы отличный, плюс ко всему зрелищному ещё и познавательный, материал. Поэтому местами вышло очень скомкано. Музыкальное сопровождение и атмосферность, к счастью, ни разу не уступили и были на высшем уровне всегда.
Первые сезоны Викингов были шикарны.Там было все отлично,игра актеров, бои , история. Какую тогда популярность получили викинги. Рагнар был просто топ. Жаль , что потом все похерили и последние сезоны были сняты под грибами.Верю, что можно было снять на том же уровне. Если и буду советовать сериал , то только первые сезоны. Не хочу , чтобы кто то добрался до момента русов(монголов) во главе с Наркоманом Козловским :D
Ну и унылая же концовка, для меня сериал скатился после 3 сезона, но все же в 4-5 ещё было не мало интересных моментов, а вот 6 сезон - это прямо дно.
Хвитсерк - как-будто не смогли придумать куда его приткнуть, весь такой неопределённый, так и остался заблудшей душой, теперь подался в христианство и не попадёт в Вальхаллу. Их финальное примирение с Иваром все же понравилось.
Флоки - у меня столько теорий в начале было о нем и все мимо. К чему были видения? Что значило то, что говорил Прорицатель?
Тема со странником, с которым трахалась Аслауг тоже не понятная и лишняя. Вообще, на протяжении всего сериала, как только мужики отплывают, в Каттегате начинается матриархат, в первых сезонах это все умеренно было, а под конец уже бесить началО.
Ну что ж. У меня ушло на всë это дело чуть больше месяца (и то потому что периодически не хотелось вообще смотреть), поэтому первые сезоны не припорошены ностальгией. И я абсолютно уверена, что сериал был стабильно ни о чëм. И в первых сезонах Рагнар тупо катался туда-сюда-обратно, причём за спиной оставлял неприкрытый тыл и там постоянно по Элизабет Олсен всë шло. Все постоянно срались, потом заключали союзы, потом предавали друг друга, потом мстили. Сюжет от начала до конца был нарезкой бессвязных эпизодов. И ладно бы за отдельных персонажей интересно было болеть. Но нет: каждый прямой как доска, никакого внутреннего конфликта, а если удивляет - то не из-за сложности характера, а по велению левой пятки. Этельстан был исключением, но увы недолго. Я просмотрела полностью, потому что атмосфера не изменилась на всëм протяжении, а она создавалась из шикарных съëмок, эпичной музыки, любопытных верований и обрядов, достоверной игры актëров с забавными акцентами, неуловимой мистики. Если просто погрузиться в атмосферу - то можно смотреть весь, с любой другой целью я бы не рекомендовала. Пересматривать не собираюсь, внезапно на винте освободилось 80 гигов, хехе
Собирался долго с мыслями начать этот сезон. Посмотрел за дня 3-4. В общем и целом слишком плохо. Про линии героев до меня уже расписали всё. От себя хочу добавить что мне не понравилось как этот сезон был слишком тёмным. Это касается не только цветовой палитры картинки, но и одежды главных героев. В первых сезонах всё было...натуральным что-ли. Было больше зелёного, красного, белого, много оттенков бежевого. Да просто откройте скриншоты на кинопоиске и сами посмотрите. https://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/682255/stills/
Я рад тому, что именно Уббе нашел то, что искал и выполнил главную цель отца "найти новую землю, плодородную и жить спокойно". Согласен с мнением, что каждый из сыновей унаследовал какую то отдельную черту Рагнара, но почему то именно Уббе больше всех напоминал о нем. Линия русов в начале подавала много надежд, плевать на наряд, простим им это невежество, но яркое и сказочное начало с "полетом" двух необычных людей Олега и Ивара в итоге превратилась в очередную подкроватную интригу и борьбу за престол. Ивар к середине сезона изжил себя, наблюдать за его линией было скучно. Погиб он так как хотел в битве, жалко его не было. Бьерн. Все в фильме говорят что он был великим воином, превзошедшим отца в этом. Возможно, это так, но если честно я этого не заметил. Его падкость на женщин единственное, что запомнилось, его наивность и глупость. Хвитсерк, как был декорацией для братьев, так ей и остался. Ну, и как папа наркоманом в какой то период жизни, правда у сына это затянулось на долго. Сигурда... вообще не раскрыли. Парень декорация, та самая роль "куста" вроде был, а зачем он там стоял и размахивал руками не поймешь. В этом сезоне было абсолютно неинтересно наблюдать уже за битвами, они стали какими то поверхностными, фоном. Если раньше я болел за какую то из сторон, то здесь мне уже было абсолютно все равно кто победит. В целом сериал интересный, если рассматривать как художественную картину я бы назвал его лучшим о викингах. Огромное количество интересных персонажей. Сюжетные линии так или иначе заставляли сопереживать героям. Красивые костюмы, обряды, традиции народностей, этот сериал был наполнен множеством плюсов. Но как и многие сериалы, он стал сдавать в позициях с каждым сезоном все сильнее и сильнее. Тем не менее я не пожалел, что решил продолжить просмотр спустя 7 лет после того как бросил его на 4 сезоне. На мой взгляд Викинги завершили вполне достойно, и слава всем богам не продолжили снимать его дальше.
Какой кошмар. Просто полное говно, такое разочарование. Ужасно нравился сериал, но после смерти Рагнара мы наблюдали настоящее крутое пике, которое закончилось самой идиотской смертью для Ивара, моего любимого персонажа. Какой же кал.
I haven't seen such a crazy ending in a long time
Ivar's death is so stupid. Only the Ubbe line was completed normally.
P.S. Now I will probably get a bunch of cons for comparing with IP, but still I will take a chance
After the Releases, it was sad, and then it also became sad that it was already the end. But everything is very logical and beautiful!
I would venture to assume that the weak edges are : DD
The last couple of seasons have definitely been some kind of trash - it's good that the series is over now. I really love the first seasons of the Vikings and will most likely review them.
The only thing I didn't understand, Flocky told Ubbe that the leader (or whoever she is) he looks so intently because his eyes are blue, and this is a danger to them. But in the frame they are straight green, although they used to be blue.
The first seasons looked like a volley, there was an intriguing plot, and wonderful characters like Ragnar, Lagertha and Loki (special thanks that at least at the end of the series they returned it to us again), I'm sure that these three will be cosplayed for many years to come, draw art with them, etc. The series set the bar very high back then.
Alas, after Ragnar's death, the screenwriters could not surpass themselves or at least stay at the same level. But there were all the chances, Ragnar had FIVE SONS left, with them it was possible to wind up such a lot of moves if desired. As a result, mostly some nonsense came out: one son was killed immediately, the second was turned into a spineless
drug addict, the beautiful Ubbe got lost against the background of Ivar and Bjorn and just sailed away, and then Ivar himself got bogged down in the senseless plot of Oleg, Rusov, Igor, etc.
The final fuss in England at least put an end to Ivar and thanks for that. It's ironic that Hvitserk survived after all, I thought that he would be put in the front ranks in the battle with Alfred, but anyway, at least he finished with drug addiction.
I am very happy for Ubba, an extremely pleasant character who will now start living a new life.
In the end, I just want to say that I'm not sorry for the time spent on recent seasons, because they also had good moments, but it's a shame that the once magnificent series in many aspects just slipped, no matter how banal it sounds.
It seems that a spin-off has already been announced, but there is practically no desire to watch it.
- Do you have any advice, Floki?
- Advice? Always take stones out of your shoe. That's good advice.
Alas, the season is three for me. Even considering that it is the last one, the creators could not express anything intelligible on the screen. In general, it seemed that by the time of Ragnar's death, the creators had squeezed everything out of themselves, and then let it take its course.
But I will definitely miss the first seasons.
Oh well, even that looks better than that..(I spare you spoilers) King of Kings/Queen of Queens/deer woman deer woman from the finale of Game of Thrones.
But the plot of Bjorn and Ubbe is straight 10/10.
p.s. Special thanks to the series for an excursion into the Middle Ages and an introduction to the affairs of the local nobility. Now I understand why it was impossible to go to war on just anyone, and what is the difference between the feudal system and the clan one.
p.s.s. Throw + in response to this comment if, like me, I bought a pro account to write a comment on the merged season here :D
the ending is so-so. I was only pleased with the Ubbe line.
Hvitserk went from extreme to extreme. Then drugs, then Christianity. 😂
. In principle, the first seasons were not bad
. A lot of beautiful shots, memorable characters, interesting plot twists
of course, I would like to have more correspondence with historical facts
, I understand that the series is a free interpretation of legends and legends, but somewhere it was possible not to invent
banal, not to make Orthodox Russia under Oleg
and I also disliked filling time with the most boring and empty lines (take at least the whole story of the Flocka settlement).
Now about the final
Ivara, I'm sorry
, this character infuriated me in the first appearances, but over time he grew up a lot and got a good development
Hvitserk has a strange ending
Why did he change his faith so suddenly? and decided to stay in England? what were the prerequisites for this in general?
It is strange that everyone accepted the new rulers of Kattegat so easily... actually two former slaves
, but although this witch is quite smart and cunning
Maybe something will come out of this
In general, everything ended logically. Ragnar and Lagertha received their dramatic and heroic deaths. Floki - peace and life in beautiful new lands. Ragnar's sons spent most of the plot dangling like logs in the open sea, but frankly, none of them had the qualities that their father had and made him a hero. That is, of course, they were, but everyone has their own. If you put all four together, you would get one full-fledged Ragnar. In the end, Bjorn died stupidly, but spectacularly, as befitted someone who was called Ironside. Ivar took advantage of what was probably his last opportunity to die as a warrior. Hvitserk traded opium for Christianity, there is nothing to be surprised at. Ubba fulfilled his father's dream, stumbled upon new lands and was smart enough not to start a war.
It's clear that nothing was going on around all this time, but it was quite interesting to watch the second half of the season. And, of course, ideally, the series should have been closed even after Ragnar's death, but we have what we have. And to call the ending completely merged, I still can't turn my tongue. Everything was put in its place, although the feelings after watching are really mixed.
The writers put a big bolt on the series and the audience, and sent all the logic up their ass.
The deaths of Oleg, Gunhilda, Harold and Ivar are perceived in much the same way as Morgenstern's farting in Timothy's track. One went crazy and came out of the balcony, the second decided to drown herself and teleport to Valhalla, the third got lost altogether, and the last one was stabbed by some kid with a penknife. Although it is worth paying tribute: they prescribed endings for everyone. It's very fucked up, of course, but they prescribed it, they didn't forget about anyone.
Two completely leftist women - former slaves, not even warriors - remained to rule in Kattegat. Everyone is fine.
The symbolism of religions and magic was presented quite interestingly in the first seasons, in the same place everything was shifted into a pile, it turned out to be complete nonsense.
The only thing that pleased me was that the Floki branch was closed normally.
I don't understand the positive reviews, sorry. If I could have seen the last season, I wouldn't have watched it. A perfect example of the fact that if the script is shit, then no stunningly beautiful picture and talented actors will save the narrative.
Your mother, how could you take everything off so beautifully, but so pointlessly? I just don't get it.
I do not understand
Of all the sons, I still did not understand what the weather vane in the person of Hvitzerk was for. He's with one brother, then with another, then a drug addict, then suddenly a Christian. Apparently, he is needed to kill Lagertha, that's the meaning of life.
As a result, only Ubbe managed to achieve what his father wanted. Perhaps this is the best and brightest part of the second half of the sixth season. Although, of course, all the brothers, even though they got something from Ragnar, even if they got together they would not become Ragnar, although everyone had something from him.
I would like to note that the camerawork and the work of the composers have not changed, probably, since the first season, but only got better. From the bottom of my heart, it's very beautiful, incredible landscapes. The music was written by Wardruna, it is not surprising that there was such a gap in the seasons. Special thanks for Fever Ray as the title theme.
I think if I'm going to review it, it's only until the fourth season. It's better this way. And the brothers will still be alive, and Lagertha.
It was a great series that we spent many years with. But let's pretend that just as the Clinic does not have a 9th season, so the Vikings do not have a sequel after Ragnar's death.
Not today, friends, not today...
Ivar and Hvitzerg are not my favorite characters, but I burst into tears while Hvitzerg was saying goodbye to Ivar.
It's amazing how a slave became the queen of Norway, it's just awesome) so many men died for this chair, and some girl got it, and really is a witch))
There is a feeling as if they left their brothers alive, who, if desired and in the right way, personified all the good that was in Ragnar. One travels and discovers new lands, shows mercy, takes care of people.
The second, having experienced his fears, drug addiction, and the loss of everything important in life, converts to a new faith and remains in the lands where his father aspired, gaining such a significant name.
And the brothers who wanted glory, war, death, got all this and went to Valhalla.
The only thing that problems with Indians evoke thoughts of a spin-off in America))
It's good that they didn't delay any longer, but it's still a little sad. Vikings is an era and a huge fiery part of my heart.
The final episodes turned out to be somewhat crumpled: this schematic campaign to England for the sake of a schematic campaign to England and the death of a couple of main characters, not fully disclosed Indians... Well, come on.
Ivar is not sorry, I have never felt sympathy for him, a tyrant and a bastard will not fix anything. But his love for Hvitzerk even touched me in the end. Hvitzerk became a participant in the cycle of Ethelstans in nature. WELL... Well, at least they've put it somewhere, everything won't be lying around in dens.
Kattegat won in the nomination "#Rukalitso". Ingrid is a completely empty character, like Eric, and all these others. What did they try to make out of it? Why this femme agenda at the end? How was this even possible? So many questions, so few answers.
But Ubbe and Floki, that's great, of course. Simple, pure, sincere. And so, as if they hadn't finished, as if there were still many, many things ahead. I remembered how the series began: with a bang in the forehead, it immediately flew into some unknown battle, as if we had been following it for a long time and were aware of what was going on. He left the same way, as if we would all meet in Valhalla tomorrow. Such are these "Vikings". Without beginning, without end.
After all, this is love.
Thanks!
I can't forgive how quickly and crumpled Ivar's death was shown. The Vikings have very beautiful rituals and when Ivar died, I expected something symbolic and strong to make me cry, as it was with the deaths of Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn. Does a character who has been dragging himself for the last two years deserve to be just put in the middle of a field in pebbles in 5 seconds?! No!
I will not write about the other characters. The guys above have already said a lot of things that I agree with.
If I decide to review the series, I'll skip the last two seasons. And to those who are just going to watch it (oh, how I envy you guys!) I advise you to watch the first 4 seasons, well, maybe the first half of the 5th and stop there.
Goodbye, Vikings! Thank you for such a rich and interesting story!
Ivar's death, I didn't really understand this story with blue eyes. It was also very infuriating that he had somehow become dramatically healthy this season. Then he stood on his feet confidently, that even in battle he turned around as if nothing had happened. I made Katya a baby. In general, a strange moment was in the middle of the battle: Ivar yells, Alfred stands and looks as if there are no fights nearby.
Ubbe always liked him and I am very glad that everything turned out great for him – and he had a good wife, and he found the land, and he kept his wisdom.
Hvitserk is now a Christian Ethelstan – this was also a funny reference) In general, I expected him to die of drug addiction. I didn't realize that he had been obsessed with killing Ivar for so long to end up hugging and crying over his passing. In general, what is Hvitserk remembered for, other than the murder of Lagertha?
There's some kind of tin in Kattegat. This Ingrid was infuriating from the very first appearance.
It's a pity at least Rollo wasn't shown in flashbacks. It's just not pretty in relation to the first cast.
I'm going to miss you!
It was boring, I had to watch at 1.5 speeds, sometimes I squandered entire episodes with new insignificant characters of the season.
He is completely unpleasant to me, because he is the one who started a chain of negative events, who constantly made any story worse than ever, systematically caused confusion and doubted everyone except the Gods, whom even the people closest to him refused or began to treat them more simply. The gods are not the meaning, the Gods are the means, it was this attitude that allowed Ragnar Lodbrok to achieve great success.
The fact that Hvitserk became a Christian was not surprising at all. He was like that the whole series, he didn't know where to go. Well, at least he can get off the drugs.
Of course, they disappointed with Kattegat, they left this dreary one to rule. What kind of queen is she? Perhaps they wanted to show the gradual decline of the Viking age. Oh, such a country was fucked up))
The ending was very satisfying. Ubbe and Floki's dialogue is the best moment of the series. Because of the joke about Ragnar and Drakkar, I want to review the first seasons)
- Ivar: Yeah!!! I'll tear them all up! I want power and glory for the ages! That's all I live for!
The last episode:
- The king of the Saxons does not just give away his wealth and power, just because Ivar glares at him from under his forehead
- Ivar: No? Then I went to die\_(ツ)_/
Awesome the series is over
I haven't watched this series for years like others, but just looked at all the seasons in a month, because I became interested in this topic after the game Assassin's Creed Valhalla (by the way, it has Ubbe, Ivar, Harald, Rollo and Alfred). The first 3 seasons were just a volley, the story of Ragnar was very interesting. But then the series dropped very sharply in quality. Watching Ivar rave about being a god for the entire 5th season was simply unbearable. And the plot in Iceland was too long. I'm not talking about the branch of Christian Russia in season 6 at all, it's just trash. I can't imagine how you endured so much waiting for new episodes and got this. The series slid hard after Ragnar's death.
Although I would say that he slipped a little earlier. When Ragnar was transporting ships overland for months, he got into a fight with Rollo and stupidly went home, and then disappeared for a dozen years. It was very strange and uncharacteristic of the character. The characters generally behaved strangely (take the same attitude of Hvitserk to Ivar, which changed by 180 degrees). What annoyed me the most was that this series was about endless betrayals. They betray or discuss future betrayal in almost every episode. Sometimes it was for almost no reason.
There is no sense of historicity here either. It's enough to sit on Wikipedia for 15 minutes to understand that the series is not just unreliable - it looks more like fan fiction. Not even all of Ragnar's sons are in it (where is Halfdan?), and their mothers are different. It was hard to watch the last 2 seasons. But, overall, the series is not bad. The original cast was good, the battles were not bad, and it was also great that they showed the culture and customs of the Vikings.
And for all that, it's not such a terrible ending. I'm personally satisfied with how we finished, that's all :)
It's unbearable to watch, but also to find out what and how you want)
I will be grateful)
Thanks to the series for the adventure, beautiful views and excellent musical accompaniment. Someday I will definitely review the first couple of seasons, where everyone is young and alive)))
1) The history of the Categate is a sad shit, it's not clear why at all.
2) The story of Kiev - this story of some Tatars living in a miniature fortress the size of my cottage, is complete nonsense.
3) Blond and the story of Ubbe is a bright spot against the background of dull trash.
4) Hvitserk and Ivor are whiners who have nothing to do after Kiev. Why did you come to England? What for? Well, Ivor's death is a complete ppts, you can't think of a worse fusion of the character.
5) King Alfred - just no comment, a squishy Barbershop! In some ways, he looks like a German.
The same fiasco as Game of Thrones!
I'm sorry, Ragnar, we fucked up everything...........
The line with Ubbe was the most interesting in recent episodes.
The final of the brothers also came in. The end of the series is decent.
If you remove all the nonsense about Russians in the first half of season 6, then I would put a solid four.
But the battle...There are no words... What was that all about?
I thought Ivar would have a more dignified death.
Ah. what an epic ending it would have been if filmed according to this legend.

И не забывайте, что Йорк это бывшая столица земель викингов в Англии.
Альфред это король Уэссекса, а ведь была ещё Нортумбрия и Мерсия, которые были полностью завоёваны викингами.
Для начала скажу что искренне не понимаю всю ненависть к сериалу после смерти Рагнара. Для меня сериал от начала и до конца на одном уровне с периодическими просадками, ну с кем не бывает
На историчность мне вот искренне пофиг было всегда, сериал в первую очередь про символизм (который тут просто ахуенный, настолько доходчивый, что провалится в спгс невозможно), про смакование культуры викингов (посему и пришлось так сказать скукожить многие исторические моменты), про войну религий и про просто ахуенные битвы. Вот серьезно, я таких махачей не видел более нигде, тут просто ИДЕАЛЬНЫЙ баланс между зрелищностью и реализмом. Вот просто браво
Про техническую сторону, музыку, актеров и тд и говорить нечего
О, ну и конечно мне очень понравился сюжетный ход где сыновья Рагнара каждый символизировал какой то аспект его личности, типа, персонаж умер, но живёт. И было крайне интересно наблюдать к какому концу пришёл каждый. А Фицштрех (ваще не могу его запомнить лол) и вовсе оказался ходячим твистом! А то наблюдаю за ним, и думаю, мб в мать свою бесполезную пошёл, от Рагнара ноль, а тут хуяк...ХРИСТИАНСТВО (тут сверху хорошо заметили как от наркоты перешел на опиум для народа, за такую тонкость авторам плюсик)
Сюжетка Уббе приятная. Опять же до меня уже заметили что лучшие черты Рагнара в итоге выжили). Мораль его линии - мудаков из своих надо вытравливать всеми способами, иначе страдать будут все
Флоки-любовь. И ваще, топить за Одина, противостоять христьянству, на старость лет тусануть с индейскими язычниками и в итоге достичь дзена - вот это я называю духовный путь :D
Ивар - мой любимый сын рагнара. Умный, хитрый, до ужаса харизматый (моё увожение актеру), с сильным духом. Не без минусов, но не зря в конце Рагнар "выбрал" именно его. И умер в своей нестандартной манере
Да и вообще, некий спад во второй половине сериала хорошо играет на мета смысл всего произведения. В последних сериях нам прямо говорят что золотой век викингов прошёл, так в итоге и происходит. Рагнар как символ их культуры - умирает, все сыновья до бати все таки не дотягивают, из за чего в итоге и настал их закат.
По мне так КРАСИВО. А историчность? Да и черт с ней честно говоря
Так что сериал от и до просто отличный, с самого начала несет свои основополагающие идеи/мысли и доводит их до своего конца. Всё
...а еще в сериале ни одного негра и на них при этом никто не подал в суд, вау 0_0
...а после смерти Флоки спиздит лодку у Харона и ваще в какую нибудь шангри-ла отправится по приколу, а чебы нет? Ба обожаю этого чудака
Эпоха настоящих викингов-воинов закончилась. Два сына остались живы и отчасти исполнили желания и стремления отца. Они в целом были самые миролюбивые.
Жаль, конечно, что Бьёрн погиб, он был шикарен, смотрела наверное отчасти потому что он хот прям.
В общем 4 из 5, хоть я и очень люблю этот сериал и восхищалась им очень.
Хочу ещё насчёт битв написать, были хорошие и в 4 и в 5 сезоне, но блин, как по мне самая клёвая все равно была битва во Франкии, это было по настоящему эпично, клёво уместно снято, а не просто размахивание мечами и топорами. В финальной битве сезона по моему как-то забыли про слоумо в битвах и в итоге выглядело это совсем не круто. Ну не знаю, такое вот впечатление.
Буду очень скучать,но рада,что вовремя решили завершить сериал.
Навсегда в сердечке🥺❤️
Ну да Один им судья.

Если интересна тематика Викингов рекомендую к просмотру аниме - Сага о Винланде.
Однако вам придётся смирится с законами жанра и будьте готовы что знакомые вам персонажи предстанут в совсем ином свете.
Линия Уббе прекрасна, как и природа 😍
А вообще в последних сериях больше всего понравилась линия Уббе, как они нашли «золотую землю». И соглашусь с мнением большинства, что природа потрясающая, сняли очень красиво 👍🏻
И всё же Рагнар в моём сердце на веки!
Помню как бросил сериал на первом сезоне много лет назад, не поняв его, но теперь я рад что посмотрел его во зрелости и увидел много вещей.
Лучше уже не снимут!
Чи, може, Івар не заслужив бути королем Ірландії і дожити до самої старості? Найхитріший і найрозумніший син Рагнара просто взяв і самовбився? Ну ок, інвалід. В сагах, до речі, безкостним він був через гнучкість, але ми це опустимо. Чому Гальфдан, син Рагнара, відомий як Хвітцерк, був то алкашом, то наркоманом, то штундом, а не правителем половини Англії? А чи сини Бйорна не стали королями Швеції, а діти Сігурда - Ютландії та Зеландії? До речі, саме на внучці Сігурда одружився Гальфдан Чорний, батько Гаральда. І один лише Убба чесно загинув у бою з васалом Альфреда. Але у віці, куди ближчому до того, який він мав у "Останньому королівстві". Як і всі згадані тут люди, які дожили до солідних років.
До чого я це все веду. Читайте, люди, історію. Вона набагато цікавіша за те, що нам показують.
Хвитсерк - как-будто не смогли придумать куда его приткнуть, весь такой неопределённый, так и остался заблудшей душой, теперь подался в христианство и не попадёт в Вальхаллу. Их финальное примирение с Иваром все же понравилось.
Флоки - у меня столько теорий в начале было о нем и все мимо. К чему были видения? Что значило то, что говорил Прорицатель?
Тема со странником, с которым трахалась Аслауг тоже не понятная и лишняя. Вообще, на протяжении всего сериала, как только мужики отплывают, в Каттегате начинается матриархат, в первых сезонах это все умеренно было, а под конец уже бесить началО.
А вот музыка в сериале шикарная.
Я просмотрела полностью, потому что атмосфера не изменилась на всëм протяжении, а она создавалась из шикарных съëмок, эпичной музыки, любопытных верований и обрядов, достоверной игры актëров с забавными акцентами, неуловимой мистики. Если просто погрузиться в атмосферу - то можно смотреть весь, с любой другой целью я бы не рекомендовала.
Пересматривать не собираюсь, внезапно на винте освободилось 80 гигов, хехе
Линия русов в начале подавала много надежд, плевать на наряд, простим им это невежество, но яркое и сказочное начало с "полетом" двух необычных людей Олега и Ивара в итоге превратилась в очередную подкроватную интригу и борьбу за престол. Ивар к середине сезона изжил себя, наблюдать за его линией было скучно. Погиб он так как хотел в битве, жалко его не было.
Бьерн. Все в фильме говорят что он был великим воином, превзошедшим отца в этом. Возможно, это так, но если честно я этого не заметил. Его падкость на женщин единственное, что запомнилось, его наивность и глупость.
Хвитсерк, как был декорацией для братьев, так ей и остался. Ну, и как папа наркоманом в какой то период жизни, правда у сына это затянулось на долго.
Сигурда... вообще не раскрыли. Парень декорация, та самая роль "куста" вроде был, а зачем он там стоял и размахивал руками не поймешь.
В этом сезоне было абсолютно неинтересно наблюдать уже за битвами, они стали какими то поверхностными, фоном. Если раньше я болел за какую то из сторон, то здесь мне уже было абсолютно все равно кто победит.
В целом сериал интересный, если рассматривать как художественную картину я бы назвал его лучшим о викингах. Огромное количество интересных персонажей. Сюжетные линии так или иначе заставляли сопереживать героям. Красивые костюмы, обряды, традиции народностей, этот сериал был наполнен множеством плюсов. Но как и многие сериалы, он стал сдавать в позициях с каждым сезоном все сильнее и сильнее. Тем не менее я не пожалел, что решил продолжить просмотр спустя 7 лет после того как бросил его на 4 сезоне. На мой взгляд Викинги завершили вполне достойно, и слава всем богам не продолжили снимать его дальше.
