Vikings: Wrath of the Northmen (2013)
Poor writing ... especially dialog.
The second episode of the series, as often happens, does not match the quality of the first which itself was hardly spectacular. I'd really like to see a well-made Viking series. Unfortunately, this isn't it. The production values are adequate and the acting is usually adequate but the writing, especially the dialog, seems amateurish. I find myself constantly wincing at the dialog thinking: that's not how people talk. Also, conversations often seem to lack sufficient context and feel unsatisfactory. The writing lacks sufficient nuance to enrich the story. This story would have more value if there were better connections to the back-story. Generally, this is pretty basic, low-level hack writing. I'm going to try one more episode - #3 - and if it doesn't get any better, I'm gone.
