It would not make sense for viewers to watch this explosive episode without having an in depth understanding of the first four seasons episodes that preceded episode 15 of season 4. The one character who epitomizes the series "Vikings" is by this particular exciting episode referred to as King Ragnar Lothbrook, played brilliantly by actor Travis Fimmel.
Now King Ragnor Lothbrook fears no man, no sea, nor any predicament that he may find himself somewhat uncomfortable within because he has shown an incredible ability to outthink all of his adversaries, overcome any and all obstacles and to lead his brave vikings to victory after victory across oceans and the continents. Ragnar has many young sons and his oldest son Bjorn Lothbrok played by Alexander Ludwig was a sponge soaking up all of his father and his King's brilliant battle strategies, determining when to strike and when not to strike. Ragnar and his son Bjorn shared many battles fighting shoulder to shoulder as well as many meals and father and son conversations.
Ragnar's true loves were his sons, his wives, his mistresses and of course his fellow vikings and his battle ships that were built by his most loyal follower Floki, played by Gustaf Skarsgård. The series has been developed with an eye for attempting to be historically accurate so you could read up on who King Ragnar Lothbrook was, when he lived, and who his descendants were. Or rather you could decide to binge watch the first four seasons of Vikings and pay close attention to season 4, episode 15, titled "All His Angels". This episode could have been released in a mainstream film version format and extended for two hours as I for one did not want this episode to end. It does change the direction of the remainder of the series which I prefer not to divulge anything and allow you to figure out by watching this exciting episode which is one of the most explosive episodes of the entire television series.
It is worthy of a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
