Great battle and a small insignificant plus for King Harald and his mini-scene. Overseas, it's already quite tedious, and the otherwise solidly played game will be hard to move forward, let alone conclude, in the last two episodes.

The Canadian survival adventure ala Robinson Crusoe and England vs Scandinavia is inexorably approaching its finale. It's hard to say how much it sticks to historical accuracy, but let's not throw in the towel, hopefully the ending of the saga will be worth it.

The battle is OK, but it doesn't have the proper edge and sparse authenticity of the first episodes. It’s big and at times artificial and chatty.

If it weren't for Harald's conversations with Ivar, it would actually be a pretty tired yawn, with only clouds of edited dialogue passages.

A great scene in Greenland, raw, bloody and with great handheld camera – uncompromising survival mode. In addition, this time the Russian side of the game is also entertaining, with the highest trump cards being dealt as expected. Twists that perhaps should have been a little later in the series, or maybe in other places, are coming to us now, in the middle of the final season.

Ubbe and co. put on a solid survival drama while Harald and co. do intrigue and scheming in Kattegat. There is nothing that would somehow spice up the mediocre fifth and sixth episodes, where the same thing happens over and over again in different variations.

Gal Gadot's natural femininity and old world elegance and refinement and the opening triathlon are about all you should (not) see Wonder Woman 1984 for, and I'm sure some editing of the top moments (about 3-4) will be quite enough. The rest is merely tired screenwriting filler that doesn't honor the main character's abilities and her character as such, nor the laws of physics, nor, in fact, any plot cohesion so that you can watch it in peace without rolling your eyes in disbelief.

Preparing for future upheavals. Nothing new, nothing revelatory, no really shocking or surprising moment. Harald is back, thanks goodness, at least there’ll be some comedy.

With a bit of exaggeration we can say that it's back to where it was in the first half of the sixth season. Rus looks strange, often illogical and disorganised. Ubbe in Iceland doesn't make much of a dent in the world either, and the events in Kattegat somewhat save the day.

A spectacular comeback that kick-started a severely flagging sixth season that lacked more charismatic figures and a proper stroke on goal. King of Kings is such an impressive reboot where one of the most iconic characters of the entire series goes down and does it very impressively. The pious wish of all fans of this epic series is that the last ten episodes will maintain at least partially the level of this episode. Hopefully they’ll manage.
