It will be available for 30 days.

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!

ElTel · 10-01-2019 11:31pm

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.

Cantona's Collars · 09-01-2020 4:41pm

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.

eire4 · 20-01-2020 10:06pm

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.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 21-01-2020 5:37pm

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.

One Question · 25-09-2020 10:05am

Any news on next Vikings season? Will Covid rule over the Vikings?

brian_t · 11-12-2020 8:05pm

There is a series of Vikings starting on RTE2 on Wednesday 6th January at 9.20pm with a double-bill.

I presume it is the latest one but I can't confirm it.

I watched it all already on Amazon. I wasn't a fan of the first part or the second part of this season. Absolutely terrible writing throughout. It's sad to see such a great show go out the way it did. I honestly can't say I'm too optimistic about Valhalla either, but I'll give it a watch when it comes out regardless.

Galwayguy35 · 05-02-2021 8:19pm

Fairly low key ending, think it just ran out of steam and had nowhere else to go.

Although if the writers introduced the voyage to Canada a bit earlier they could have developed that a bit more IMO.

fryup · 06-02-2021 10:55am

fryup · 08-02-2021 9:42am

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry, you said no spoilers. I’ll put the “tags” on this in case anyone else is a bit behind.

Ubbe and a few others leave Iceland looking for the “golden land” to the west. Floki wasn’t around when they arrived on Iceland initially, he’s missing, presumed dead. So him turning up in a tree house in the last place you’d expect was a surprise. Not really much of a spoiler in the grand scheme of things as anyone who was recording it from RTÉ on the Sky Box will have seen a still of Floki in the final, or penultimate, episode selection anyway.

finished it last night,

the battle scenes in this were amazing up there with Braveheart & Gladiator

does anyone know if the final series was filmed in Ireland? was there many irish extras & production crew used?

Yes most of the final season was filmed in Ireland mostly in Wicklow as it was on previous seasons. There were a lot of Irish who played as extras and in the production crew as well.

were you one of them? how much did € a day?

No but my sisters husband was one. No idea how much if anything he was paid.

fryup · 22-02-2021 11:11pm

could you ask him please

Wicklow as stated, mainly around Lough Tay from my understanding. The last time I was up there a few months ago you could look down and see parts of the set for the Valhalla series.

He was paid but not much as he was only ever in one episode.
