That was an excellent one.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I can recommend this title. I enjoyed both seasons for their story and drama. The acting is superb and the twists in the story keep you engaged. Cant wait for season 3!

I dunno where to start really, the shows so good i don't think anyone can do it justice in a review. Set in the 9th century, long before the kingdoms became united its a gritty and realistic representation of the time. Forging out power and borders in what will later become England and the United Kingdom in wars and peace deals made between saxons and vikings. House of cards+Vikings is probably the best way to describe this show if you feel compelled to compare it to something else. The action isn't over the top and its very realistic. It's also small scale accurate to the population of the island in that time period, however season 2 there is a bit more fighting and revenge going on while season 1 was a little more political.Give it a few episodes to get into it well worth it.

Just happened to find this show scrolling through Netflix one day. So happy I found this series.The first episode was good, but it took 2-3 to draw me in. I think the plot and story are just great. It is a twist on the Viking world that is currently taking TV by storm. The actors do a phenomenal job with their characters and interaction with one another. I love how the relationships have developed between all of the characters in this world, between Uhtred/Alfred/Ragnar and just the many many other characters how have strained and strengthened relationship. I have turned several friends onto this who are GoT fans. I think this series is right there with GoT.I can't wait for another year of it and I am interested in where they take the story and the characters!

I love stories set in this period, especially covering political and battle episodes of the age. I found overall the series mediocre, compared especially to Vikings, not because of the adherence to history or costumes or acting, but simply because the whole storytelling is mediocre, similar to a B-rated TV show like Hercules or Xena could be. The protagonist, Uthred, is probably the most unlikable protagonist of a TV show. And not because we can characterize him as good or evil (we don't care, we enjoy watching protagonists with gray areas, or even villains) but simply because he seems like a spoiled brat. Each episode we don't know what he is going to do but most disturbingly we don't understand why he is doing something. "now I want to be an earlderman, now I am a Dane, now I kill people, now I am a loving father, now I hate my 2 months old son, now I love God, now I hate him, now I plunder, now I enforce the law. And the same goes for other characters, but obviously Uthred is the most annoying. We need consistent storytelling, we don't care if he is good or bad!
