Continues a good story about the mythical Viking King, Ragner. Season 4 Part 1 includes two failed attempts by Ragner to conquer Paris and defeat his brother Rollo. Have to figure that's not a good record for a Viking king. So Ragner leaves and disappears for 5-7 years or so and then returns to a hostile group of subjects in the last 6 minutes of the last episode. Clearly setting up Season 4, Part 2. Good entertainment and I am sure looking forward to Part 2.

Continues Ragnar Lothbrook's struggle against his brother and adds modern-day tropes such as drug addition, infidelity, and equality for women. All from the Vikings cultural point-of-view Yes, these seem to be eternal battles, all against a tableau of conquering the Brits and the Francs apparently.

This is a good series and the characters are well defined. It's at least as good as the series "Rome" that I think was on Showtime a while back. Worth taking a look at if you like "The Game Of Thrones". It's not like that series except it is has medieval setting but with less metaphysical and mystical stuff. Still it has a little bit of that too but of course without any dragons unless you count the dragons that are on the fronts of the viking ships.

A mostly disappointing season - Not near as good as the previous 3 seasons. Different writer(s) maybe? If so, I hope they get the old ones back!
