Raid

"Raid" has an intense, exciting and well-executed first half (which successfully raises the stakes and forms a stronger connection between us and our leads), while the latter half slowly and effectively builds towards, what seems to be, a major resolution. While some of the dialogue is still hit and miss, there's plenty of standout character moments, particularly for the Earl, as well as Athelstan, whose dynamic with Ragnar and the others is always so sweet. The music is also something worth noting, which alongside the title theme, is consistently strong.
