    Vikings!

    Anyone else watching this? Missed the boat on season 1, but season 2 is gripping (imho).
    *Have now caught up on series 1 to fill in the gaps, but S2 is still better.

    Have just ordered Series 1 as everyone that's seen it thinks it's brilliant.
    Let's hope so.

    It's quite watchable although I feel it's a bit too dumbed-down for the masses.

    Series 1 was watchable, but not great. Its like someone took all the tongue in cheekness out of spartacus, then tried to cross it with tudors.

    Me and the missus are enjoying it a lot - only reason we are keeping lovefilm, er Amazon prime. It has a few surprises every now again, the "festival" near the end of S1 being my most memorable.

    Haha, the first episode wasn't too bad, I like the idea of it, the same company behind Spartacus, now with Pirates

    Season one was great to begin with, but I felt it got a bit lost over the last few episodes. Season two has been very enjoyable though.
