Whilst Vikings may be based as much on myth, as fact, its core understanding of the world they lived in, makes it inherently watchable. Vikings were conquerors, traders, settlers, and politicians. All elements, that can be found blended in intricate and intriguing ways, in this series. Its helped too be decent acting, direction, fantastic sets and rich visuals. I do feel that said this series needs to come to an end soon as its really reached its potential and much more, will simply start to feel a little repetitive. A great watch. 9/10.
