Critics Consensus

Reveling in the glory of straightforward adventure storytelling, Valhalla is a bloody good dramatization of Leif Eriksson's conquests.

The Times (UK)

A lavishly earthy world of gore, swords and men going “yargh”...

Daily Mail (UK)

One beard only has to look at another beard and that’s it, throat slit. This has, in short, not been approached with any wit or humour or cleverness.

Rated: 2/5

For a bit of good, honest, dumb-as-hell, hairy-bros-with-axes action, I can wholeheartedly recommend Vikings: Valhalla.

El Pais (Spain)

Unlike the original Vikings, there is more action and battle here than intimacy and mysticism. [Full review in Spanish]

Valhalla is a blood-soaked bunch of silly fun, chock-full of risible dialogue, all of the daftest tropes of historical adventures...

With Vikings: Valhalla having already completed production on season two, you can rest assured you will at least get to find out what happens to these characters for one more season.

Rated: 7/10

Loved it !!! A bit slow some moments but great acting and storytelling. No idea why people trash it here. Didn’t see the original. Will watch it

This is set 100 years after the original Viking series. Yes definitely won’t be the same unfortunately. It could have been more to the story line instead of jumping from concept to concept. I like that it mentions Leif Erikson and talks a little of his father Erik the red the founder of the first European settlement on Greenland. Good show but not the greatest.

This whole series just feels less relatable than the last one. PC values are more present in this series, which i dont want, especially in a show about history

Worth a watch. There are shocking moments that I didn't see coming. I prefer the original Vikings series, but I'll definitely give the second season a go

Unfortunately, this sequel to the original Viking series lacks cleverness in story telling (one hackneyed trope after another); is terribly written with unrealistic (illogical, even at times) dialogue; showcases frequently awkward, awful fighting choreography; and, in every single way, is a far cry from the fantastically written, acted, directed original series. The first season was a struggle to get through. Spoiler Alert: the beginning of Season 2 is so far no better, with one storyline written like the crew creation scene in a “heist movie.” I regret starting something I don’t wish to (but can’t help but) finish. Save yourself (and maybe family and friends) the trouble.

Absolute rip off and failed attempt to piggyback off of History Channels Vikings!
