The HISTORY® original series Vikings transports us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore—and raid—the distant shores across the ocean. His ambition puts him at odds with local chieftain Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Byrne), who insists on sending his raiders to the impoverished east rather than the uncharted west. When Ragnar teams up with his boat builder friend Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) to craft a new generation of intrepid ships capable of conquering the rough northern seas, the stage is set for conflict.

But for all its warfare and bloodshed, Vikings is also a story of family and brotherhood, capturing the love and affection between Ragnar and his wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), a respected warrior in her own right. It is the tale of Ragnar’s brother Rollo (Clive Standen), a fierce fighter who simmers with jealously; of Earl Haraldson’s wife Siggy (Jessalyn Gilsig), a dutiful beauty who may be less than loyal; and of the monk Athelstan (George Blagden), whose Christian morals clash with the Vikings’ pagan society. As ambition and innovation rattle a civilization, these characters will be put to the test—and their way of life will never be the same again.

Vikings was created and written by Michael Hirst (Elizabeth, The Tudors).


Season 1 of Vikings left many unresolved issues and cliffhangers—would Rollo really fight against his brother Ragnar? What will result from Ragnar’s night of passion with Princess Aslaug? Can his marriage to Lagertha survive both his infidelity and the death of their daughter Gyda? In Season 2, these issues are resolved in dramatic and often unexpected ways.

At its heart, Vikings remains a family saga, following the fortunes of Ragnar, his extended family and the people he represents now that he is an earl. Ragnar’s own desire to sail west, to explore new kingdoms, in alliance with King Horik, leads to a storm-tossed landing on the coast of Wessex, an important Saxon kingdom ruled by a king not unlike Ragnar.


Season 2 is all about crises: of faith, of power and of relationships. Kingdoms are at stake. Lives are at stake. Love is at stake. And all under the watchful eyes of the gods.


Season 3 begins with Ragnar as King and follows the great responsibility that now rests on the shoulders of the former farmer.

With the promise of new land from the English, Ragnar leads his people to an uncertain fate on the shores of Wessex. King Ecbert has made many promises and it remains to be seen if he will keep them. But ever the restless wanderer, Ragnar is searching for something more and he finds it in the mythical city of Paris. Rumored to be impenetrable to outside forces, Ragnar and his band of Norsemen must come together to break down its walls and cement the Vikings legend in history.

The gripping family saga of Ragnar, Rollo, Lagertha and Bjorn continues as alliances and loyal friendships are questioned, faith is catechized and relationships are strained. VIKINGS tells the extraordinary tales of the lives and epic adventures of these warriors and portrays life in the Dark Ages, a world ruled by raiders and explorers, through the eyes of Viking society.

Is anyone watching it?
Sometimes i like the fast Story Telling but actually S4E18 it goes a bit to fast.
looks like they have no money for the big war in this episode
 
How good is this series compared to Game of Thrones?
Being as its mean't to be more historically accurate its more down to earth compared to GoT.
Certainly less R rated, though still has the its share of adult situations. Some pretty impressive & intense battle scenes. I'd say more realistic compared to GoT.
The storyline over the early seasons is actually quite compelling as you follow the main Viking tribe and its leader as they conqueror & expand.
Its a tv show I think is worth spending time to watch, though I think with current seasons its alittle past its prime as the story progress now to the next generation of the main cast.

Thanks for that, I've been meaning to sit down and start watching it as some friends of mine said it was quite good. :)

I don't know the exact reason why I kept putting off watching this series over and over again but I'm finally in the mix of it now. I'm smack dab in the middle of the 4th season and I'm like glued to it and can't seem to get enough sorta like I was during the GoT. Wow the music in this is astonishing and the epic battles are something else and the whole story line just draws you in. Why did I put this off for so long is beyond me but I love it. Sorta wish they upped the rating to a TV-MA and added a little more adult themed scenes and this could have been a good heavy contender to the GoT. We need more genre like this, I love these type of shows. :thanks:
 
This series was really good and then went on to watch Vikings: Valhalla as well but it wasn't quite as good though. Now I'm watching The Last Kingdom, just started it this evening with five seasons to go.
