Yeah I just can't.
After watching the Vikings series, I mean, they did the Viking thing as good as you can do it.
I simply can't watch anything else to do with Vikings because its a let down in comparison, so until someone actually does that period some justice I stay well clear.
Other than that, May is gonna be a belter ......... Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness then onto Top Gun 2, it doesn't get much better than that.

Someone please explain why his career has happened.
Because I've tried to be reasonable about it but I just see absolutely nothing to justify it.

I don’t mind Nicolas Cage tbf …He has got a decent set of movies. Bringing out the Dead, Face Off, Leaving Las Vegas, Family Man, Mact Stick Men, and on, and on, a good list. Those movies are quality tbf.

Vikings Valhalla on Netflix
Set 100 or so years after Vikings. Same universe.
The Last Kingdom is also brilliant. Bebbanburg is my new favourite place

To answer you and Phil, I have heard of Vikings Valhala but heard its not as good on the reviews, plus one of the Viking Jarls is a black woman ........... I mean, the historian in me just can't, it claims to be the same universe as Vikings but its been doused in PC pixie dust and just doesn't look as authentic.
I mean if they were making a bio-pic of Shaka Zulu and tried to slip in Brad Pitt playing Shaka I wouldn't watch that trash either, so it goes both ways, these are not made up characters or era's so it needs authenticity, if a Director can't respect history and is willing to undermine his film to gain a PC Blue Peters badge then I can't respect his work.
If you make a film about the Song dynasty in China and have Nicholas Cage as the Song Emporer, again, I'm not watching.
As for Last Kingdom ........ I think I watched the first episode and was a but meh but I have heard good things about it so I might give that a whirl.
