Hey google I do believe I have already paid for the FULL SEASON 5 which should include the rest of the season together. On top of that I've already watched S5E11 on 11/28/2018 which was originally part of S5, so why do I not have it now. I do believe its because of your greediness. This is totally wrong treating loyal buyers such as myself like this. I will never buy another movie nor tv episode ever again and I'll be sure to tell everyone how you have cheated myself and several others the way you have me......

Highly overrated series. I really wanted to like this series. I stuck it out through season 1 but that's as far as I'm going. I wanted to give it a chance before giving up. Writing isn't very good at all ... Acting is average at best ... If this is supposed to be people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark why don't they all speak with the same accent? Poor preparation. How is it Ragnar can be away for months and his shaved head doesn't grow hair? Poor production. What's sad is the story fails to hold my interest so much so that I actually notice these things. Turn the TV off and read "The Last Kingdom" series by Bernard Cornwell if you're looking for a story about 'Vikings'. Your time will be better spent.

...this series is a hair on the Hollywood side IMHO. Its redundancy renders it 3-Stars vs. 4. Overall a fairly' historically accurate depiction of how the ,"Vikings" and the English/Anglos intertwined, but unless you are a certain viewer, you could lose interest sooner than later. Only the great Odin can rate and deem this story line worthy to enter Valhalla upon its end LOL!
