My wife and I are slowly working our way through this season, having burned ourselves out binge-ing "The Last Kingdom".
Can I just say that a few episodes past this one I'm breaking out into belly laughs at how terrible an actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is? And my wife is like "great, more scenes with the priest and the old lady."
This show does perk up anytime Floki has a vision though!
