This is a 'dramatization' of vikings culture & mythology, and what not. Not sure exactly which time-peroid(s) it takes place in, but the previews make it out to be really good.

haven't seen the promos for this. when does it start?

It's started Red

 

I haven't seen it yet but I do wanna check it out eventually

Watch 2 episodes of it so far. (one was a pre-air I found)

Loving it!

I'm really liking this show so far.

I'm a viking!

i DVR'd this and have caught the past 2 episodes. i like this show, it reminds me of Son of Anarchy (Graphic) meets Breaking Bad (becuase you really dont like any of the characters). really good quality for History Channel and i look forward to them doing more mini series like this with history.

From what I gather this is more than a mini series. And I think the quality can be attributed to the MGM partnership.

Its probably only one season though, so mini-series is still apt.

From what I've read it sounds like there is going to be at least a season two.  On e of the costue creators talks about creating costumes for when the go to Byzantium but the don't " get there till season 2"

Huh, might be a different cast by then. If you wiki the main characters name, you'll find his existance as a pivitol historical figure, though I didn't read as far as if he got to byzantine empire or not. (though obviously other vikings did.)

 

 

I do know that there's going to be (maybe not this season?) A huge plot line on the vikings sacking... York I think... that king they mention last episode, is the reason...

Wow.

Loving this show.

 

If this keeps up.

Vikings > Game of Thrones.

I already like it better than the game of thrones adaptation.

The Vikings has officially been renewed for a second season.

I think it's a fun show, but I don't think the acting is all that great. Also, some of the accents are really weird.

Wow.

Loving this show.

Vikings > Game of Thrones.

 

BLASPHEMY!!!

 

 

 

 

i have a back log of like 2 shows for this on the DVR.   its a good show and i've been enjoying, certaintly on par with Breaking Bad or Walking Dead imo ... but sorry SD its no Game of Thrones or Tudors

Wish I could show you a couple of the fight scenes and then you could compare that to the one in GoT.

  the fighting scenes aren't waht make GoT's the best show on TV and you know it SD.

Is it the sex scenes then?

Sorry but the final few episodes were meh.

 

Not a bad series but nowhere near on par with got.

So I love this show and I can't wait until season 2 starts!  And I tracked down the theme song.  In case you were wondering, the song is done by a band called Fever Ray, which is a side project by Karen of the band The Knife and her brother.  I ended up buying the whole CD and I Adore It!
