Vikings: Valhalla - Season 3
The ending of Vikings: Valhalla still raises plenty of questions.
Please note: this review contains spoilers.
It was announced quite some time ago that this would be the final season of Vikings: Valhalla. Then you hope that a suitable ending will be created. After watching the finale it is clear that the story continues. Still, it's a fitting ending. Actually, it makes sense that there is an open ending. Most of the main characters continue to live. It is therefore logical that there will be all kinds of developments that we can now implement ourselves. You don't have to delve into the history books to read a sequel. Vikings: Valhalla has at most used history as inspiration.

The battle between the old faith and Christianity is rampant in the far north. The small group that still adheres to the old faith follows Freidis. However, it appears that being entrenched in Jomsborg is not safe. Magnus, Olaf's son, comes to disturb the peace. A life and death struggle ensues. The result is that Freidis has to travel. She can thus fulfill her vision. On that trip she meets several old acquaintances. Not everyone appears to support her in her quest.
Harald and Leif fight for the Emperor of Constantinople. The goal is to conquer Syracuse. Leif's knowledge ensures that a breakthrough occurs. After the battle, his science is used for other reasons. The massacre that follows causes Leif to begin to doubt his knowledge and skills. He leaves everything behind and goes on a journey to find the country he once saw in his youth. To do this, he first visits Jomsborg to visit his sister Freidis. There he discovers that he is too late.

Canute is the current king of the North and England. Together with his wife Emma, he travels to Rome to persuade the Pope to support his cause. This turns out to require more than a simple audience. Canute is ill and knows that his end is near. This means that the rivalry for his legacy is in full swing. His and Emma's sons lay claim to the throne. The fact that others also see their opportunity to seize power makes it even more dangerous. Canute asks his family to come to Kattegat. There he will tell who will take over his empire. The outcome will not reduce the fight and rivalry.

Harald still wants to become king of Norway. However, he seems to be distracted by the Empress of Constantinople. Both are completely absorbed in each other, with the risk that the emperor will punish them severely. The rivalry with a general of the army of Constantinople makes things even more complex. Harald has amassed enough money to buy several armies. Yet he remains in Constantinople for a long time. Too long, it turns out. It has disastrous consequences. Given the situation that has arisen, it is very questionable whether Harald will achieve his goal of becoming king of Norway.Every element that makes Vikings and this series so successful is there.

Vikings: Valhalla provides a solid third season. Every element that makes Vikings and this series so successful is there. Manipulation, power struggles, war and smart strategic moves make this season fun to binge watch again. The biggest disadvantage is that the end is approaching so quickly. After the last episode, the Viking epic is over. The ending therefore leaves room for interpretation or a film. The latter fits in with the current tradition. Unfortunately it has not been announced so we have to make do with this. The question is therefore whether this is really the end of Vikings in films and series. I can not imagine it. Hopefully someone somewhere is already coming up with a beautiful historical television series that has the same qualities as this and other series.Vikings: Valhalla provides a solid third season.
