      2014 History Drama Adventure Action List
      93% 14 Reviews Tomatometer 96% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score Viking Ragnar Lothbrok is a young farmer and family man who is frustrated by the policies of Earl Haraldson, his local chieftain who sends his Viking raiders east to the Baltic states and Russia, whose residents are as poor as the Norsemen. Ragnar wants to head west, across the ocean, to discover new civilizations. With assistance from his friend Floki, Ragnar builds a faster, sleeker fleet of boats to help him make it to the Western world. Through the years Ragnar, who claims to be a direct descendant of the god Odin, continues to struggle with Earl until the two face each other in a final battle for supremacy. Following that, Ragnar goes on a search for new lands to conquer. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Feb 28 Buy Now

      Karen Valby Entertainment Weekly The best of what Vikings has to offer, besides artfully, horrifically staged sequences of warfare, is fierce Lagertha. Played by Katheryn Winnick (a black-belt tae kwon do teacher in a past life), she may be the most exciting feminist character on TV. Rated: A- Mar 21, 2014 Full Review Maureen Ryan Huffington Post This gorgeously shot drama -- and it's one of the most visually striking shows on TV -- is simple but not simplistic, and that's a crucial distinction. Mar 4, 2014 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post Vikings exceeds expectations, so long as those expectations aren't up in Game of Thrones territory. What could be a silly exercise in quasi-historical swordplay is instead an earnest, tightly told family drama. Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Tim Surette TV.com Floki is one of Vikings' most fascinating characters because he scares the bejeezus out of me. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Courtney Vaudreuil TV Equals One of the things I love most about Vikings is how visually arresting it is. It has one of the most haunting opening credit sequences that I've ever seen. Mar 4, 2014 Full Review David Griffin Screen Rant The reasons for Vikings success stem from its stellar casting, and top-notch writing from Tudors veteran Michael Hirst.

      Regal R 80/100 - honestly not a bad first season. some weird character choices that breaks immersion so thats one of the main reasons for the loss in points. worth watching though, good entertainment value and decent plot so far. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review R J C Season 2: Keeps the saga going and only improves as it continues the story of the characters that we're totally invested in by this point. OVERVIEW: Vikings is absolutely one of my favorite series of all time. Such great storytelling and character arcs, told with so much emotion, humor, and excitement. Absolutely love all of the Seasons - and it's NOT one of those shows that you invest all your time in and then are disappointed by the way it finishes - it's magnificent from beginning to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Sequisha J Every season just gets better and better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Benjamin H Vikings second season is a truly riveting, exhilarating and amazingly plotted season fueled by its stunning vistas and enthralling characters, despite some rushed and expository segments. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/22 Full Review anthony l Awesome series with tons of violence and action. You really feel connected to the characters and it is an added bonus that it is loosely based on historical documentation. I binged the entire series in about 2 months and enjoyed it greatly. highly recommend this series Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The story of Ragnar and King Ecbert is phenomenal! The casting is amazing as both Ragnar and Ecbert absolutely killed their roles as did Floki… Those 3 really stood out but the rest of the cast did a fantastic job as well… This is one of my favorite seasons!
