PLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING THE SHOW:
I’m not the one to leave a 1-star review, but I wish someone would write something like this for me to read before I started watching it.
NO spoilers, 3 seasons honest review:
The show storytelling is a complete mess & it has a dragging slow pace with a lot of filler moments & characters that are absolutely unnecessary for the story. It also had a lot of plot holes.
The show also has a strong “climate change, poverty, big corporations are evil” kind of vibe to it, which is not a problem if done right but this show just doesn’t pull it off. It comes off as they had to include these themes in the show vs it’s actually necessary for the story.
It feels like actors did their best but whoever wrote the story did a horrible job. It not just about the story but the way the whole show is structured, the pacing is horrible - overall very bad.
The worst part is the ending. You’d expect something cool to happen, but this is the most anticlimactic ending you could ever imagine.
Once again if the show was awesomely written then an ending like that could make you think in a good way, but the way the show is written it only makes you hate the fact you wasted your precious time watching it.
Overall, please do NOT waste your time watching this show. It has nothing to do with Thor, superpowers, action, or even small city drama. It’s just a poorly written tv-series that is using Thor, Ragnarok, Vikings, and other Norse mythology/words/hype as a gimmick/hook to lure you in, to only keep consistently disappoint in every way possible.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS!!!! There are a lot of better movies/shows on Norse Mythology out there that are actually worth watching.
