The comparisons with Vikings (which I haven’t watched since the end of S4) are fair. Agree that the third season wasn’t as compelling and that another — potentially — 40 episodes to take us through to a seventh season conclusion is a step too far. A S5 conclusion feels about right.
Fantastic news!!!! I keen for 6-7 seasons overall as there’s so much more to tell in that horrible world
I found the third season really dipped in quality, so I’m concerned that they’re planning a fifth season… I was hoping they’d be wrapping the story up by now.
Too Long and Drawn Out..Just like the Vikings..Never Ending ..I can’t be bothered watching anymore.
