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.

**Such a great series, don't miss!** This is one of the best vikings TV series ever! I was hooked all the way through!\ \ It follows the rise of Ragnar Lodbrok, his life, family, loves, friends, his kingdom of Kattegat, his travels, conquests, and voyages, and his eventual death. Then it continues on following the same for his sons and friends.\ \ This series is such an excellent telling of the era, and incredibly immersive! It has excellent acting and storytelling, beautiful shots and dramatic battles, and the full uncensored barbarism vikings were known for.\ \ This is one you don't want to miss if you're into vikings, their history, or just pure entertainment!\ \ PS: if you're waiting for the battle shown in the intro credits, don't, that's the only place where you see it, at the start of every show.
