Valhalla Season 3 Review: Destiny Has Never Looked so Perfect
Valhalla season 3 ends the story of three dear leads with a terrible outcome. Following six seasons of the hit series Vikings, the franchise was extended with Vikings: Valhalla, which draws from a fresh page of history. Set around 100 years following the exploits of Viking legends including Ragnar Lothbrok, Björn Ironside, Ivar the Boneless, and more, Vikings: Valhalla investigates the spread of Christianity and the conflict between the Christians and the Old Gods. Valhalla season 3 marks the last journey with Leif Eriksson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, and Harald Sigurdsson.
Valhalla Season 3: A Time Jump For Character Development - Vikings
Vikings: Valhalla season 2 concluded with Leif and Harald almost at Constantinople. With Harald's ultimate aim of becoming the King of Norway making itself known once more, the last season of the series reveals what the two brothers in arms have been up to since arriving at their destination. Regarding Freydís, her position as the Keeper of the Faith sends her one last time into collision with Christian Vikings. We are dropped into a narrative with many changes seven years between the end of season 2 and the beginning of Vikings: Valhalla season 3.
Vikings: Valhalla's decision to have a seven-year time jump means we have to gently piece together what Leif and Harald have been up to in their journey with the Byzantine Empire and which members of their crew from season 2's boat plot have stayed by their side instead of seeing them arrive at Constantinople. This presents lots of chances to play about with the relationships and dynamics of characters. From the beginning, Vikings: Valhalla season 3 marks Leif, Harald, and Freydís's last stop on their road towards death.
Valhalla Season 3: Character Development—Viking
Valhalla season 3 makes abundantly evident how the characters have developed in both expected and unexpected directions. Season 1 established the universe of the series; season 2 split the trio; and season 3 picks back up with Harald and Leif's action-packed adventures and Freydís's part as the Keeper of the Faith in Jomsborg. Vikings: Valhalla season 3 makes it abundantly evident that all three characters—who began the show as quite different people—have developed in both expected and unexpected ways; they have experienced love, laughter, pain, and heavy losses.
Valhalla Season 3: A fitting end for its main stories
Most of the questions about the fates of the series' major characters are resolved by its conclusion. The last season revolves on negotiating one's fate, a recurring theme for the show. Every season 3 episode brings the characters closer to their historical fates, which includes some significant changes to its main trio, near the finish line. Though Sam Corlett's Leif and Frida Gustavsson's Freydís are also excellent, Leo Suter is the star of season 3 as Harald.
Valhalla Season 3: Erik the Red's debut
Valhalla also marks the arrival of Erik The Red in the last season of the show, which is fascinating to observe the man behind the myth. Harald's clear goal from the beginning of the show has been to fulfill his destiny as Norway's next King. That even caused him to split from Freydís — and his unborn son — in season 2. Harald then set off a long trip across far-off countries in search of an army to obtain what he desired. Valhalla season 3 marks the next phase in that quest, which results in some of the best character work as well as the finest action scenes of the season.
Vikings: Valhalla Season 3: Family of King Canute
With his heirs central in the show's politics, Season 3 also showed King Canute's family's best appearance thus far. Season 3 deftly adds to the mythology of the show with lots of action, twists, and turns. Valhalla also sees the arrival of Erik The Red, and it's fascinating to meet the man behind the myth. The main trio of the show meets their destinies to great success, even if some of the supporting characters' fates could have have been shown better.
Valhalla: A MUST-WATCH Viking
Vikings: Valhalla chronicles the valiant exploits of some of the most well-known Vikings ever recorded, set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century. From Kattegat to England and beyond, these three Vikings start an epic journey that will take them across seas and through battlefields, from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and glory as tensions between the Vikings and the English royals approach a bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their opposing Christian and pagan beliefs.
