'The Vikings'

' The Vikings '

HELLO LADS, How you doing? Today I want to recommend you an Ireland historical drama television series, 'The Vikings'. The show tells a story of Ragnar Lothbrok, a legendary Viking hero who with the support of his crew and family becomes a Scandinavian king.





Viking Ragnar Lothbrok is a young farmer and family man who is frustrated by the policies of Earl Haraldson, his local chieftain who sends his Viking raiders east to the Baltic states and Russia, whose residents are as poor as the Norsemen. Ragnar wants to head west, across the ocean, to discover new civilizations. With assistance from his friend Floki, Ragnar builds a faster, sleeker fleet of boats to help him make it to the Western world. Through the years Ragnar, who claims to be a direct descendant of the god Odin, continues to struggle with Earl until the two face each other in a final battle for supremacy. Following that, Ragnar goes on a search for new lands to conquer.



The acting is mostly top notch, I am glad to see Travis Fimmel in this series, since the role highly suits him.The sets are impressive. The direction and framing of each scene is ,obviously, set by a skilled hand. There are some liberties with history, but the quality of the series makes up for that.

So, If you're not too picky about historical accuracy and you don't mind the view of spilling blood you MUST watch it!

Great show, a solid eight out of ten.
