Fully caught up with this final season of Vikings now. Found it very hit and miss, pretty much how it’s been the last couple of seasons. The Ice Maiden episode was absolutely superb though, from start to finish. One of the best episodes of the show from any season. Found the mid-season finale a little dumb, though I’m not sure what we saw is actually what happened. Think ultimately they’re just a pretty unlikable bunch. Hard to be too excited by a show when you struggle to engage with its characters. Ubbe is probably my favourite of Ragnar’s sons but it’s slim pickings. I totally get that. None of the characters are as good as the originals. Floki used to annoy me sometimes, but now I miss him. And I miss characters like Rollo and King Ecbert a lot. Ecbert was probably my favourite character. I don't like Bjorn, but that's 90% because of the actor rather than the character. It's not as good as it used to be, but It's still one of my favourite shows on TV. It's rare that a show keeps me invested for 5 seasons, especially if the quality starts to decline, but I'm still invested.

It's rare that a show keeps me invested for 5 seasons, especially if the quality starts to decline, but I'm still invested. It’s still watchable with some episodes still very good but I’ve really struggled with the loss of some of the quality characters. Still say Ragnar is one of the best from any show I’ve seen, when you lose that’s it’s always going to be tough to maintain the same standard. Much like a running theme in the show now, it’s been very hard for any of the sons to live upto him. I really liked Ecbert too, Linus Roache was brilliant. Also miss Athelstan. The first few seasons of the show really were sublime, up there with anything.

Latest season of The Last Kingdom has been superb so far. Really has an air of GOT about it, this season more than any other. Like a cross between that and Vikings.

After life. Hit me right in the feels. The dog steals the show for me in the last few episodes. Gervais has created some wonderful characters and its cast is fantastic. Get on it if you haven't already done so.

The Plot Against America is superb, great writing and acting. I read and loved the book so I’m interested in seeing what they’ve done with it.

White lines on Netflix. 2 episodes in. If you are at an age that you remember the Hacienda, this is for you. Great soundtrack. Good story. Get on it!

Anyone watching Èric in Inhuman Resources? Not yet, it's on my list though. Pretty much just because of him.

Finished The Last Kingdom. Absolutely brilliant. Think it gets better with every season.
