Yeah I started watching when season 1 was coming out and it is really great. The story never stops for a break so you can't really miss an episode (never mind a season!), who knew Discovery channel could put out a TV show that in my opinion matches top shows like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead in quality.
Only part I find weird is when the Vikings and the **SPOILER** English meet and to the audience they are both speaking English but to each other different languages.
man season2 part 7.. i never thought i ever would see the red eagle tortue technique in a movie haha .. too cool XD just missed a lot detail
Yeh this was a gem of a show for anybody who likes Game of Thrones, Rome etc. The main character and his brother are well developed characters and I am intrigued to see how the raids to England continue ( Despite knowing the references to the 'historical' figure~)
Agree, Season 1 was pretty good, but season 2 is brilliant. Only 2 more episodes to go after fridays :(
Is this as violent as Spartacus?
Yes and no! It does have some violent bits but there spaced out in most parts I would say, where as Spartacus seemed to have blood and guts spilling every few minutes. Its well worth a watch!!Quote:

I still haven't watched season 2, but from what I recall off season 1 it was pretty violent, it wasn't quite as gratuitous as spartacus, but then that wouldn't really have fit with either the plot or the aesthetic.
