Mercenary

The "i hate women" episode. Every man complains about the women in their lives and then rolo has a great chat with floki about how women are evil and can't be trusted. Was the writer going through a divorce and thought this was a good way to vent his anger? It's pathetic,super sexist and annoying. If this was women talking about men people would be going insane.. no thanks!

did you read my title? good..

review done! now I must meet the minimum lines requirement.. did I say that I normally hate history productions? I do enjoy the premise of their version of TopGear, OK it's not Jeremy, Richard and Mr. Slowly .. but Tanner is a hoot and the other two grew on me... outside of that, I don't do cable productions (example:Anything from SciFi or however they spell it now), there was one other production I watched on History and it was "battles BC". An old professor from the Royal Canadian Military Academy is featured on it, so I kinda was self-obligated to watch it, now days you can see it on youtube, it takes the bible out of it's religious context and puts it into a strictly military context and does a marvelous job at explaining it all FACTUALLY with disclosures of SPECULATION, it also has many parts that are NON-BIBLICAL also, such as Hannibal...

to conclude...Did you read my title yet??!?!?!?! OK, disclosure, My family has a history with Charles I and Charles II many many MANY years after the Vikings invaded (look up "Sir Jordan Crossland" If you give a hoot.. but growing up with this and the conflict it involved I do LOVE seeing conflict In ye Olde England.. it spurs on all the imagined battles of my childhood...

and that is where I truly conclude.. With all the conflict and history of the old world, most every family has a storied past like mine, and it really is a reason to love something made to entertain.. live vicariously and enjoy the outstanding acting, the hardships, the story.. oh wait.. did you read my title yet?!? NO REVIEW HERE.. it's UP THERE ^

Lagherta leaves Kaft in charge of Hedeby and she heads to Kattegat to join Ragnar in their journey to Wessex. They take farmers with them to settle at the land promised by King Ecbert. He welcomes the Vikings and proposes they fight with them to recover the Kingdom of Mercia to his allied, Princess Kwenthrith. Ragnar and his warriors join forces with King Ecbert's army while Lagherta leads the settlers to the offered land.

"Mercenary" is the promising beginning of the Third Season of "Vikings". King Ecbert seems to be a nice leader in a period of betrayals, but his court and his son do not seem to be trustworthy. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Mercenary"

The 2/10 reviewer seems to be delusional/Simp if you look at his previous post all he does is focus on female and how they are portrayed of women were down upon at those times

The opening of season 3 feels mature, controlled, and full of intent. Ragnar is no longer the same man we met in earlier seasons. He now wears the crown of a king, and with it comes hard decisions, complex alliances, and an unstoppable hunger for exploration.

This episode kicks off a new conflict: the expedition to Wessex, a land full of promises-but also potential betrayal. From the very start, Ragnar watches everything with a mix of curiosity and suspicion, as if he knows nothing will come easy.

The supporting cast continues to shine. Lagertha commands the screen every time she appears, balancing nobility and strength in a way that makes her unforgettable. And Floki... well, every word he says feels like it carries something darker. He's clearly unsettled, and it feels like he could break at any moment.

It's not an action-packed episode, but it's filled with tension and anticipation. Ragnar shows once again that his mind is his greatest weapon. I give it an 8, as it's a strong start that sets the board for what looks like an intense season ahead.
