I don’t know if its the eyes so blue they make you think they’re CGI enhanced or if its the blood stained skin and hipster haircut, but something about the main character of Vikings leads me to believe that I wouldn’t want to meet this guy in a dark alley.
Ragnar Lothbrok, the main protagonist, his sociopathic brother, and equally psychotic wife make up an amazing main line-up of good guys. They drink and fight for blood (against each one another), and spitefully take their clan’s chieftain on, creating an addictive, sit-and-watch-five-episodes-at-once story.
In the first Norse raid the viewer is a part of, the Vikings stumble upon a monastery during their first trip to England. They do exactly what you think a 14th century Nord would do to a town full of priests and golden statues: slaughter and plunder.
I will say that the first episode was rather slow, but it was a much needed set-up for what will develop into one of the best shows on television. Honestly, this is a cold-hearted drama/action for the books, kids.
Season 2 premiered on February 27th, so you don't have that much binge watching to do to catch up with the show.
