Enjoyed the 1st episode ...

 

[mTk]

Thanks for the tip. Was unaware it was already up and running.

 

[Wellsonian]

Yeees!

 

[Wellsonian]

Two episodes in. A fan!

 

[mTk]

One episode in...me too! It's very true to the original.
Which means it is kinda hard to tell one viking from another given they all have the same facial hair and weird hairdos.
Even the women.

 

[Nelson1812]

Yea.. I pretty certain some of those Vikings fought and died hundred years earlier...
Guess if your got that Viking look...

Enjoyed the new series, looking forward to the next.

And less we forget...

About 1/2 way through episode 6.
This is not for the squeamish.

 

[Wellsonian]

They did ramp up the graphic gore didn’t they?!

 

[Captain K]

Jarl Haakon wore blackface.

Bit racist.

 

[Nelson1812]

Jarl Haakon was a man...

Bit sexist.

 

[Captain K]

So jarl Haakon was a transgender man that wore blackface and beaver fur.

Bit confusing.

 

[Buckykatt]

The wife and I watched one episode, thought it was kinda awful. Just my .02. We liked “ Norsemen” it is much better in our opinion.

 

[Hardradi]

I gave up and couldnt watch it. It has my namesake Harald Siguardson as one of the main characters. Firstly, he is supposed to be a tall bloke and at the battle of Stiklestad he was only supposed to be 15 years old. The first episode was cast before this. I could go on...

Prefer to keep my memories from the original Saga's.

 

[mTk]

This is not meant to be a documentary.
Understand your personal attachment could be distracting.

 

[Badger73]

Not for the feint of heart. I like it!

 

[Bulletpoint]

Fun fact .. I know the guy who plays Jarl Kåre in real life.

 

[Badger73]

Small world; Scandinavia! That Jarl was a very scary dude in this portrayal.

 

[Captain K]

I agree with Indy. Rubbish, and an insult to Northern folklore and culture!
