Season 1
Introducing the extraordinarily complex and violent world of the Norsemen, The History Channel's first scripted series races the gripping sagas of historical hero Ragnar Lothbrok. As claimed direct descendent of Odin, god of war and warriors, Lothbrok's mystical nature and devotion to the gods feeds his stealthy maneuvers and determination to become King of the Vikings.
Season 2
Season two brings crises of faith, of power, of relationships. Brothers rise up against one another. Loyalties shift from friend to foe, and unlikely alliances are formed in the name of supremacy. Ragnar’s indiscretions threaten his marriage to Lagertha, tearing him and his beloved son apart. Plots are hatched, scores are settled, blood is spilled…all under the watchful eyes of the gods.
Season 3
With the promise of new land from the English, Ragnar leads his people to an uncertain fate on the shores of Wessex. King Ecbert has made many promises and it remains to be seen if he will keep them. But ever the restless wanderer, Ragnar is searching for something more … and he finds it in the mythical city of Paris.

Whilst Vikings may be based as much on myth, as fact, its core understanding of the world they lived in, makes it inherently watchable. Vikings were conquerors, traders, settlers, and politicians. All elements, that can be found blended in intricate and intriguing ways, in this series. Its helped too be decent acting, direction, fantastic sets and rich visuals. I do feel that said this series needs to come to an end soon as its really reached its potential and much more, will simply start to feel a little repetitive. A great watch. 9/10.

Vikings is somewhat based on History, but either way, it's an excellent show with awesome Characters & I love the Actors in it. The locations & sets are perfect, the action outstanding, even if you don't like this kind of show, I would suggest it to anyone to give it a try. Once you get to know the people in it & get into the story, & it takes a few episodes, but once it gets rolling it's an overall awesome experience. 10/10 Rating for me.
