Vikings (TV Series) All at Sea (2020) User Reviews

Three Good Storylines

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 23 July 2022]

In Greenland, the starving settlers fight the haywire Kjetill and his men to take part of the whale, but in the end they flee to a boat without water or supplies and sail away from Kjetill. In Kiev, Price Dir, Ivar, Igor and Hvitserk ride to overthrown Prince Oleg, but surprisingly they are welcomed by Oleg's army and people. Igor suspects it is a trap. King Harald is ready to get married with Ingrid and Gunnhild arrives dressing a white dress and wishes the best to the couple, but explains that she prefers to meet Bjorn at the Valhalla.

"All at Sea" is an episode with three good storylines with tragic fates. The conclusion of the saga in Greenland is expected. The unreliable Kjetill has always been a frustrated man with ambition of power and his destiny alone is great. Prince Oleg was a great surprise since the viewers expected another great battle with Prince Dir. Gunnhild's belief in Valhalla is perfect for the subplot. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "All at Sea"

Gunnhild

[conmck-2 · 8/10 · 11 January 2021]

The swimming scene with Gunnhild (Ragga Ragnars) was stunning. Her dive was perfect and when she began to swim, I remembered that she was an Olympic swimmer. Magnificent breaststroke! So beautiful. I'd like to know where she was swimming and how cold that water was!

Still being Censored

[doug2go · 7/10 · 11 January 2021]

This may be one of the most enjoyable Series I have watched in years despite the censorship. I had hoped that with the last episodes moving to Netflix that the censorship would stop - I was wrong. I rated this a 7 because I am tired of being treated like a 12 year old and told that decapitating an enemy is OK but seeing a naked person is not. I wonder how many people realize that that the original version shown in Australia and New Zealand is much different than the pablum we get in the States. That aside - it is a great series and worth the time for people that don't care about being protected from Viking reality.

Glory to Ivar

[amenetil · 10/10 · 20 January 2021]

The relationship between Ivar and Igor. Ivar saw himself in the boy and all the time protected him from some of his mistakes from the height of experience, became for him a kind of ideal, what Ragnar was for him at an important moment. I think Hvitserk is right, and this experience of life in Russia really changed him in many ways.10 / 10.

Wholesome

[ahmadqurashi · 10/10 · 3 January 2021]

The relationship between ivar and prince igor is just just wholesome, Finally ivar found someone who trusted him believed in him and more importantly "loved" him.

Curious For the journey of the brothers ivar and hcitserk and how will it end.

ivar is becomming more like a human and less of an dictator

[svenohrberg · 10/10 · 4 January 2021]

In the beginning of Ivar as a "grown-up", many wrote that Alex was acting badly. I'm not so sure. He is getting better and better, but I thought he had peeked a while ago. Now with his acting together with Igor I think he is at his best in this show. The show is taking too long at sea with Ubbe, and too little with Ivar and Hvidtserk and their plan for returning to Kattegat.

Absolutely loved it.

[jorgitofunes · 9/10 · 9 January 2021]

This episode is so underrated, I loved every single thing about it. It felt like classic Vikings, also Ivar is growing so freaking much as a character. It just feel like the show is closing everything so smoothly.

Ivar is a very good person

[kurt7825 · 10/10 · 8 December 2021]

I'm glad everything worked out for him. I hope he has a good life. He will always be my favorite person on the show. Igor is a good little guy to. He and Ivar became the best of friends.

This was a very good episode.

Really?

[edragonwhoniverse · 3/10 · 7 January 2021]

Can't believe what i've seen here. The Island/Greenland storyline is so full of plotholes and most important,boring as it can get.Why have they made Ubbe in the 6th season so weak and dumb.He can't defend his tribe knowing Kjetil killed the other tribe.Doesn't tell his own tribe what Kjetil has done.Why??? Fighting over the whale and fleeing with at least 15 to 20 people even when Kjetil has only his wife and 2 or 3 people left. Unbelievable and unwatchable.Shame to the writers and producers who let this on air.At least the soundtrack is good as always.

One of many great episodes

[amickmt-74552 · 10/10 · 7 January 2021]

This one has everything including great cinematography, religious configuration, emotional drama, epic situations, etc. What a phenomenal series this has been.

The year is 2020

[A_Different_Drummer · 10/10 · 13 March 2021]

For historians of the future. The year is 2020. There is something called COVID. People are not themselves. Hollywood somehow manages to continue to churn out a handful of "indies" each week. They are but flyspecks compared to this episode much contains performances that once upon a time would have earned multiple Oscars, along with top tier dialog, and some of the best camera work in the history of the medium.

[nikolajvesij · 10/10 · 14 January 2021]

Awesome, amazing, fascinating, informative, historical series.With the release of each new season, I was looking forward to a new one.From the very first episode of the season I watched until the end,I did not sleep at night.Some seasons looked twice.The fifth one hasn't looked yet.Here I will download and as always:from beginning to end.I look forward to this day and these hours of pleasure.It's like dessert, after a good dinner

Plunging into darkness

[bozijlucifer · 10/10 · 30 January 2021]

The series is good, atmospheric. Ragnar came out just great, just drags on himself. Recent seasons, of course, such a thing

You can skip this one

[Purple-cookie87 · 2/10 · 8 January 2021]

I think this is a skippable episode. Unless you care about Gunnhild.

I agree with another reviewer that the Ubbe / Greenland story was odd. Why is Ubbe running away from what was, in the end, one man when they were about 20 strong? I get that this leads to them finding the land the were originally looking for, but surely their reason for leaving could have been better than that! Feels like lazy writing. Ubbe's current story line is just a repeat of Floki's, and neither of them are particularly interesting.

The Ivar / Russian storyline is also strange. What is the point in the doppelgänger? Katia is even more pointless than Freydis, and that is saying something. Again, it's just a repeat of a storyline that already been done. Prince Oleg's demise was unnecessary. What was the need for crucifixion scene. I ended up skipping half way through that because it was boring and had nothing to do with the main characters.

Even King Harald can't save this episode I'm afraid. I don't care about anyone left in Kattegat. None of these characters, Gunnhild included, have any emotional tie to the story for me. So the focus on them, from my personal point of view, is a waste of my time. Gunnhild's suicide was, again, odd. I felt it was out of character for her to essentially give up, and also took up too much time. I just didn't care.

I love Vikings, I have been watching since it came out. I also don't have as negative an opinion on the post-ragnar seasons as others do. I'm hoping that things start to come together in the remaining episodes. Although there aren't many characters left that I care about. (Hopefully Torvi can have one child that isn't taken from her.)

A ship of fools drifting nowhere.

[Rolly_Dodger · 3/10 · 7 February 2021]

I knew that writing a satisfying end to so many plots would be difficult and likely unsatisfying in some cases but I was not prepared for the absurdity, sterility and desolation of this final season. The Greenlanders flee in panic to the ships, despite outnumbering their enemies, not even pausing to gather supplies. Why? Drama at sea. The Rus gave up, Ivar gave up, Harald gave up... the writers gave up.

Glad this mess was on free preview.

Show keeps disappointing...

[foreheadache · 3/10 · 26 March 2022]

No battle for Kiev (just a penitent crazed Oleg in a time that Christianity had no saying in that part of the world). Again with this Ivar fatherhood?!? (is he now fit for it?). BUT the settlers leaving Greenland with empty hands all of a sudden just like the family of Kjetill had a missile launcher, grenade or machine gun was just too much, TOO desperate (just so the showrunners add some more drama to the boat/drakkar scenes).

The boring plot, its holes and never-ending nonsense would deserve minimum rate for wasting my time. BUT the cinematography was sometimes really interesting here. So a 3 is deserved.
