Necrotongue

After some time, Lagertha got more space again, which pleased me, as her fan, a lot. At the same time, the scene with Egil's interrogation could serve as a theme for summer grilling :-) The hide-and-seek game at the end was entertaining, and it's clear what awaits the viewer in the final episode. I'm looking forward to it.

The plot of the eighteenth episode was sufficiently interesting for me to be ready to give it five stars, but then came a deceitful blow from the creators and, like many other users, I deducted points from my rating because I was shamelessly cheated out of a battle. The execution of the king did slightly improve my mood, but still...

With each episode, I am increasingly surprised. The events in Kattegat were mostly boring in the fourth season, but now it is once again becoming the center of the most interesting events. Ivar is slowly but surely becoming an extremely interesting character, and I assume that he will be the focus of the next episodes.

I really don't understand why, if the creators are capable of creating episodes of such high quality within the fourth season, they hid it so perfectly. The last three episodes were very decent and I can't wrap my head around how it's possible that a part of the series was so uninteresting and even boring. I hope that the series will continue with the same level of quality.

I didn't even expect that I would be able to direct two episodes in a row in the fourth season, but it happened. Besides the most important event, there were also interesting dialogues and preparations for the final grand plan from Ragnar's side. So yes, this episode was worth it.

Lagertha and the events in Kattegat quickly earned four stars from me, and I definitively had to add the fifth one for the great dialogue between Ragnar and Egbert. The King of Wessex has been among my favorite characters for a long time, I've missed his intrigues.

After all, I could add the fourth star again, surprisingly both expeditions did not contribute to it, especially Ragnar's felt like some mockery, all the positives this time went behind the events in Kattegat and Hedeby, where something interesting finally began to happen.

And it's here again. What was it about? Except for Bjorn and consortes sailing to Normandy and possibly further, and Ragnar and Ivar going to England, the story was terribly empty. It is clear that a double number of episodes per season is too much for the creators, instead of a quality story, we get some filler just to have something filmed.

No, I thought about what the eleventh episode was actually about for quite a while. I would say that it was largely about nothing, only relationships were being resolved like in any other series, so I was only interested in the dark prophecy and unexpectedly also the character of Ivar, who seemed the most interesting to me out of everyone involved this time.

There has been an improvement compared to the previous episode, but it wasn't enough for a fourth star. It's just not the same anymore, and it annoys me how the creators of the series simplify their work by randomly introducing new characters to fill the episode. I think Doc Martin should have been appropriately concluded with the last series.
