The Buddha

...it's Judith.

Cheats on her husband with a priest, then with her father-in-law. Willingly becomes her father-in-law's mistress while her husband has to just accept it. Distinctly favours the son she had from the priest and ignores her other son, then makes that other son decline the crown so that her favourite can rule instead.

And then yeah.

Obviously most of the characters are terrible people but Judith has just been unexpectedly cruel.

First of all: Get Floki out of the decrepitude that is Iceland. Iceland is going to suck for another 1,000 years. People there will generally starve, be subject to waves of disease and famine, and inbreed to an unbelievable extent. The actor playing Floki is one of the few people who can act on the show. Get him out of Iceland. 2) Stop opening more and more soap opera story lines. This is not game of thrones. The actor playing Ivar cannot act. He cannot. Every scene in Kattagard is cringeworthy. Essentially everyone with any acting talent has been written out or marginalized. Gabrel Byrne .. off to Valhalla. George Blagden..off to heaven. Linus Roache... off to hell. Jonathan Rhys Myers...off to purgatory.

We are stuck with the cast members who can't act their way out of a paper bag!

I don't think anyone wants to know about Floki's stupid adventure! What's the freaking point of it all? It's a pain to watch those parts!

Mystical crap all the time, insanity, dark, brooding...what is this series? Holloween XXI or Jason XI set in a viking backdrop? Does anyone believe the highly independent, forthright, take no crap vikings would put up with Ivar the Boneless's silly, murderous insanity? The writer is channeling his own idiocy, like the segments with Floki, and destrorying this otherwise excellent story. This series is going downhill fast! I used to put this series at the top of my Must Watch Immediately list, Now I sometimes forget to watch it at all.

In Kattegat, Ivar learns that Harald was defeated in Wessex and plots to navigate with his army to loot the Saxons. Harald arrives at York, introduces Magnus and fight a group of rebels. Hvitserk learns Buddha´s teachings from an Asian slave. Lagherta is missing and King Alfred keeps his word giving lands to Ubbe and Torvi; however, Bjorn decides to leave Wessex with Gunnhild to team up Harald to overthrow Ivar from Kattegat. In Iceland, Floki receives the starving Helgi that tells that his family is dying. In Wessex, Judith plots a scheme and poisons a conspirator.

"The Buddha" presents the sequel after the Battle of Wessex showing the fate of each character. The weakest segment is Floki and his settlers. The greatest surprise is the last scene that was absolutely unexpected. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "The Buddha"
