Episode Summary & Review

Summary

King Ecbert faces a new foe; Ragnar races to dominate in the West.

Our Take

A busy hour that juggles Wessex politics with Ragnar’s raiding without dropping either thread. The English court scenes give the season its best new material, though some of the Norse subplots feel like treading water. Worth your time, especially for the shift in the power dynamics out west.
