I need to catch up.  The last season I watched was the one where Alfred died.

When you say the end, do you mean the last episode of the last season or the new film Seven Kings Must Die?

Seven Kings, where Utred is standing in the vestibule looking into Valhalla.

I watched it. It was pretty terrible. They almost had me at the ending, but then I realised that they failed to bring back any major characters of the past seasons for the Valhalla scene.

Yep, the end scene were Putrid is hovering on the Rainbow Bridge, I thought they nailed it perfectly.

Mileage may differ, but I loved all of it, start to finish every season, and even the slightly madcap movie (Seven Kings) also. I felt it very superior to most other Viking- or period-specific series in recent years, and (mostly) far better scripted and produced.

Would have liked to see a character or two from the final season return, but enough did.

Great fun, all around.

Watched it earlier this week. Enjoyed it. Much like the series. As it was a film I was hoping for a bigger budget and more spectacular battle at the end but it was okay.
