Vikings 6 seasons vary in overall quality.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The History Channel's original series, Vikings, garnered massive popularity over its 6-season run, however, like any show, not every season of this iconic historical drama is equal. Any TV show that receives an extended run on-air is bound to have its ups and downs. Some shows get better as they go, rounding out characters and finding a nice flow of events.
Moreover, the tension between Ragnar's sons after his death can be unpleasant to watch. Flawed as Ragnar was, he's a character that the audience comes to care for, and watching his sons turn against each other is conflicting. In many ways, the show functions as a loose biopic of Ragnar up to this point, and without him to follow, the show just falls a little bit flat. Even so, there are some great moments in Vikings season 5, and it is still an entertaining season of television.
Despite these strong points, the final season of Vikings cannot compare to its peak. Part of what made Vikings so popular is its grounded approach to history, but season 6 largely misses out on this. Vikings certainly take liberties with its historical interpretations and reenactments, but the early seasons place a much stronger focus on taking the audience into the life of a Viking.
The expanded cast also hurts the show at times, however, because it becomes a bit overstretched trying to juggle so many arcs. Vikings fans see Ragnar plots his own death toward the end of this season, which can also leave a bad taste in the mouth, even if it is done well. All in all, Vikings season 4 is a really good season of television; it's just not as excellent as the first three seasons of the show.
