Vikings (US/Canada Pace)
Has anybody else checked out the new Vikings drama series yet? It started on Sunday night in the US and Canada, on the History Channel in both countries, and I quite enjoyed it. Spoiler: It looks like the raping and pillaging of England begins next week. We know whose side Guardian readers will be on.

No nudity -- the History Channel is "basic" cable, not premium cable.

Those three shows, respectively, were/are on Starz, Showtime, and HBO -- all premium cable channels with no ads. Judging by the first episode, Vikings isn't TOO far from being the kind of thing BBC1 might air on a Saturday night -- Merlin with a little more violence.

Did pretty good in the ratings. The first part of "The Bible" miniseries was a very good lead in

The first couple of episodes were quite promising. I was prepared to be disappointed, because the History channel has suckered me in before with a flashy trailer for something that turns out to be a very repetitive documentary. But this had good production values and is on track to be an excellent drama. Quote:

![]() ![]() I assume the Earl has lost his sons? If so will he eventually end up backing Ragnar as a suitable successor who shows some get up 'n go? |

I've been watching this on history on demand and i'm really enjoying it.
I really hope it gets a second season and it's about time a uk broadcaster picked it up too. |
