    Sigh ... for those of us who don't have Netflix/Prime or any other fancy stuff, does anyone know when - and where - we'll be able to see the latest series of Vikings that starts tonight or tomorrow on History in the US?

    RTE2 normally airs it shortly after it airs in the US....but maybe with the time of year it might be the new year before they have it!

    Thanks, adelcrowsmel - guess i’ll Just have to be patient. I should have read the previous posts, as I think the same thing happened last year! Life (and TV channels) used to be so easy.

    Set my sky box to record and series link as I was watching the Man City game on Sky Sports. Only realised after the match ended that episode 11 recorded but episode 12 wasn't recording. Manually recorded episode 12 but missed the first 15 minutes :mad:

    Hopefully I can download episode 12 from RTÉ Player, but worried even that might delete before I get to see it as I'm only on series 5 episode 2 at the moment.

    So I've got almost 30 days to watch the next 10 or 11 episodes? That's good to know, I'll easily manage that! If I didn't have a ton of painting to do this weekend I could just binge away!

    My Virgin (horizon) box messed up the recording of the two episodes last night.
    I don't see them listed to be repeated over the weekend.
    How long before they're on the RTE Player please?

    Not at all.

    Vikings is much grittier and hasn't suffered the same massive drop in quality that the last two or three seasons of GofT did. I'm not knocking GofT, I loved it, but Vikings is consistently brilliant.

    I'm 4 episodes into the new series and it's just so consistent quality wise. A slight jump forward in time but not much,the first episode pretty much explains things and sets up things.
    New protagonists and characters along with others who all have different ambitions.
    I won't spoil it for anyone so no more information than that.

    Apart from the messy final couple of episodes I dont think GOT suffered a "massive" drop in quality. I enjoy Vikings but to compare it to Game of Thrones doesn't hold up. There has been a drop in quality since the end of season 4 with Vikings. Saying that I thought the most recent episode in season 6 was very good.

    I am going to disagree with both. I thought Game of Thrones was great all the way into the last season. So far Vikings has been the same for me and remains so so far in its last season. Just simply 2 great different shows IMHO.

    I don't want to drag this into a discussion about Game of Thrones.......BUT....... I can't help feeling a bit cheated that the last couple of series seemed to fly by. There was none of the old detailed build up, it was just as though the writers wanted to get it out of the way as quickly as possible.

    My biggest gripe, among many, was that Jon killed Danny and no-one really batted an eye. She had thousands of Dothraki and Unsullied who were all insanely loyal to her and loved her, and yet even Grey Worm accepted Jon's deed with barely a grumble.

    Might have a lot to do with the fact that the last 2 seasons were not based directly from the Game of Thrones books as they have still not been written and published a fact I am not happy about at all to say the least.
