Vikings: Valhalla season 1 Reviews (original) (raw)

So, sure, the show can sometimes feel like a montage of strapping, bearded men introducing themselves to each other before beating each other up. But “Valhalla” also demonstrates enough ambition and handle on its characters and pivotal time period to justify diving into its world, no matter how much you may have known about it before taking the plunge.

The vast audience for Vikings is clearly the target for Valhalla, and those viewers won’t be disappointed, but they also won’t be blown away; the show takes a while to find its way.

I was very impressed with this show despite the low user score. I thought it had great acting, scenery, fighting sequences, and plot. Highly entertaining.

Valhalla is awesome! I really loved this Viking show and everything about it was captivating.

To view Vikings: Valhalla as targeting the spirit of the times rather than to-the-letter of the times is to enjoy on its own terms, and its own terms are ultimately fair. Maybe they keep the show from being truly great, but in terms of pure entertainment and getting you to click that “next episode” button, everything here works perfectly.

These characters may not have much complexity or depth, but they compensate for their thinness with a surplus of furious attitude—save, that is, for Corlett’s Leif, who turns out to be far duller than expected from one of the series’ nominal heroes.

It stays consistently entertaining even as it fails some of its best ideas. The production values are very high, resulting in a show that’s confidently made, and the cast is uniformly charismatic.

Valhalla is promising, offering an exciting new batch of characters, it needs to fix its pacing issue and lean into more of its strengths rather than trying to retread the path of history.

After a well-paced opening episode the plot starts to drag, mainly when it focuses on a female character, Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), back in Scandinavia while the main action takes place in England. It is much better when giving us battle scenes, or the machinations involving Æthelred's callow son, Edmund, and shrewd widow, Emma of Normandy.

I love this show. Harald Sigurdsson is best characters. This show is wonderful

netfilix przedstawią nam nową sagę wikingów... niestety nie ma tutaj już tak polubionego Ragnara, i nawet Ivara. Jednak od samego początku można było się kapnąć że ich nie będzie bo jest 100 lat po wydarzeniach z poprzedniego serialiu.

I wanted so much to love this show like I loved the original series . I just found the characters boring and the plot meandering.

Another series ruined by woke SJW garbage, it could have been so good, had it just stuck to history.
