History Channel's: The Vikings

[SinisterDeath]

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.

[Red2111]

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

[Nolder]

It's started Red

 

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

[SinisterDeath]

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

Loving it!

 

Its based on this guy

Great TV show so far :)

[SinisterDeath]

Yar!

Its kind of like game of thrones.

Only Awesome, Becuase their vikings.

If your right click properties, the file name, is also the non-pg13 caption to this.

[SBoydW]

I'm really liking this show so far.

[Durinax]

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.

[SBoydW]

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"

[SinisterDeath]

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...

[SinisterDeath]

Wow.

Loving this show.

 

If this keeps up.

Vikings > Game of Thrones.

[SBoydW]

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

[SBoydW]

The Vikings has officially been renewed for a second season.

[Haxorsist]

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.

[Red2111]

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.

[Red2111]

  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?

[Lilbaz]

Sorry but the final few episodes were meh.

 

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

[Mendorah]

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!
