Æthelflæd and Brida were absolute rubbish characters in this season. Almost singlehandedly trashed the season imo. Even more so given that they turned Edward into a bumbling moron to better show off his sister.
I did like the character of Sigtryggr though. Was the main redeeming feature of the season for me, and the reason I’m still intrigued for a 5th season.
Yep more pandering to the progressives, and the characters that just pop out of nowhere with no development
And what was the point of the "sickness", and the amateurish leave the gates open with no guard no scouts 
The weird ass part is that they could have shown her capable without the ridiculous overdoing it, as even contemporary/near contemporary history portrays Æthelflæd as a strong and competent ruler after Æthelred died. But here, instead of showing her as this and no more (ie. first Elizabeth film did a decent job iirc of not overstepping the mark too far), they have to also put her on the battlefield leading men, slaying Danes like some warrior, rescuing her brother from his follies, giving up Uhtred, then giving up his daughter, etc. New season and all of a sudden she is this strong, fierce, wise, always measured and rational, compassionate queen lol
Definitely agree on the spoilered bit. Too many pointless and random details added in this season. And nonsensical actions.
or Edward and his army riding all the way from Mercia to Winchester to immediately charge the gates of a fortified city with no plan lol

Now I downloaded the whole season of Gangs of London, but I'm not gonna watch, because the stupid substitles scene in internet is slow with this series. Now subtitles out yet, and I'm not gonna watch a UK series with its linguistic intricacies without substiltes lol, gonna ruin prolly 20% of the comprehension of it all. 5 days out and no subs for it, weird.

Just finished season 4, and I have to echo this, fantastic character, too bad he joined so late into the season, could saved it more. But defenitely a peculiar and fascinating viking.

Just finished TLK S4 and the season wasn't bad at all. The Mercia subplot in the middle could have been accelerated so Syggthingy would have been introduced earlier since he makes a much better villian than Cnut. Generally, they could have communicated what happened to Guthred from S2 (a major character) and Guthrum and in Dunholm and in Bebbanburg with the Scots, Aefric's son etc.
