Have to admit I wasnt impressed with the first episode,I did find it good but I'm so glad I stuck with it,it is now in my top 3 favourite tv shows I'm watching.
If anyone is thinking of giving it a go make sure you watch past ep 1,it really is a brilliant show

Thought the whole series was great. Season 2 cannot come soon enough.

According to legend there is still lots of material to go through.

Yes, Gabriel Byrne is in it. It was not shown on TV in the UK. Lovefilm bought the right to show the series in the UK.

They're advertising it like crazy on TV. It says only available on LoveFilm. An Amazon exclusive. So not sure what that means. Maybe it will be available on Amazon at a later stage.

I'd put this on a back burner, but watched the last 3 this week - good stuff and I'm looking forward to next series And I'm off for a week in Northumberia soon and will be re-visiting Lindisfarne and Bamburgh - I'll be thinking of Ragnar and his men hoving into view from the East.


According to legend there is still lots of material to go through.
I hadn't realised there was a legend and have now thoughly spoilered myself on Wiki Not that knowing the story stopped me loving Spartacus

Classic film! Not seen it in years so I think I'll forgive myself for forgetting it was Ragnar. The Northumbrian king had a wolf pit in that though, rather than snakes.

I've just burned through this in a couple of days. Loved it!

Ragnar's a cocky git, but very likeable.

And his wife is a bad-ass shieldmaiden!


I like Floki and the priest, too.

I've just done that myself.

"Oh, the Wiki page for Vikings has links for Ragnar, Lagertha, and Rollo..."

I never learn. I always spoiler things for myself

I heard lots of good things about this show but was pretty disappointed.

The positives: The opening theme song is simple, but beautiful and bewitching - sticks in your head long after the episode. The acting is a bit sketchy at times, but Ragnar, Lagertha, Floki and Earl Haraldson are serviceable in their roles, given the material. I'm glad that the action scenes steer clear of being too choreographed and so in the thick of the action that you can't really see what's going on.

The negatives: The script is woeful - I dare anyone to come up with a memorable line. It's certainly not a thought-provoking show. The main protagonists are such horrible people that it is impossible to empathise with them. Throughout the entire series, I felt more for the people they come into conflict with, than the vile barbarians absent any redeeming values whose path we're forced to follow.

Overall: watchable, but sort of dumb.

Looking forward to the new season. Not much activity on the forum for this show.

Amazon Prime UK have the rights again and will be showing the new episodes weekly just 24hrs after they're broadcast in the US. With this and the new season of 'Bosch' Amazon Prime is just about paying it's way.
