Did anyone watch the final (S6 Part 2) season of Vikings? I just finished it and man it was pretty disappointing.
:::
Was stupid to kill off the main two characters so early in the season and then have nothing stories for two of the others (Ubba sailing to the Americas and Hvitserk the drug addict).
For a series that's been so focused on Kattegat, which has included lots of battles for it backwards and forwards, the series ends with some character who turned up midway through the last half season and really made little impression.
All if S6 was an attempt to redeem Ivar but he was too much of a Karmichael Hunt in the previous season for that to work.
Ubba spent half the season sitting on a ship in the sea.
Hvetsirk reiterates how much of a bad ass fighter he's always been and then instead of returning home he becomes a Christian.
Why the fuck was Erik the Red even a character, he added nothing.
Although how good were Princess Katia's tits?

I've only seen Part 1 of S6 so didn't read your spoiler. I'll watch the last 10 episodes when they appear on Netflix but this show has gone downhill since Ragnar died.

Yeah, that is Part 1 of the last season, they split S6 into two parts. I think they did the same with S5 as well.

Just discovered this one today. Watched the first episode and enjoyed it. I reckon the methheads are going to annoy me in the long run though.

Yep, finished it last night.

Agreed about Kattegat, pretty much zero story there, with a few bit-part characters fighting over the seat. Then Harold turns up with a handful of men, but apparently enough to takeover the city. Then fucks off again to let the bit-part folk get on with their squabbles nobody cares about.
And yeah, agreed on most of the rest.
Hvetsirk... I couldn't figure out what was happening at the end there... was he really converting, was he faking... it seemed to be stressing how much he looked like Ragnar, and that he was the only one to truly follow in Ragnar's footsteps? It looked like he might be smirking as he was baptised... but... might have been my hopeful imagination?Princess Katia was haaawt.

True Detective
Thanks for the heads-up. Need something good to watch so will def. give that a go.
Started watching Wayward Pines gave up after two episodes. Found myself asking "How many times has this been done before?"

Just finished part 1 (5 episodes) of Lupin (Netflix UK). French Idris Elba type plays a gentleman thief modelling himself on Arsene Lupin, a fictional character created in a series of actual short stories from 1905.
Set in modern Paris and has a touch of Ocean’s 11 about it. Surprise Netflix hit - recommended in The Times. Enjoyable fun.
Part 2 released in UK summer evidently.
-
I just finished one episode (episode 4) of Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams.
Strange and pretty awesome.Standalone episodes of apparently varying quality.
I looked up various opinions of the best episodes.The episode I watched is called 'The Commuter' (with Timothy Spall).
Gonna watch 'Crazy Diamond' (with Steve Buscemi) next. -
@taniwharugby yeah I like the silly humour, it's just such easy viewing. Yeah second season is on now.
-
Resident Alien
Promising start
-
@MiketheSnow yeah not completely sold, but will defo catch the next episode just to see where it's going.
