Did anyone watch this last night on History? I missed it and forgot to record it, so if anyone knows if it is being replayed please let me know.

It seems to be good from the reviews/previews. I am not into Game of Thrones (too D & D for me).

Not until the end of the 2nd season. Seems more like Braveheart if a comparison is used.

Is vikings the same type of thing but viking history or is it one of those history docs with re-enactments?
It is a fictional show, I think it is called faction......a fictional story based in a factual time.

Watched it, it wasn't too bad. Definitely a stylized drama and not a documentary, so don't expect bulletproof historical accuracy but it was interesting enough to hold my attention for an hour. It's by the same guy who did "The Tudors" and definitely feels similar to that show only with a bit more of an edge.

It was an alright opener. I enjoyed the Tutors for the most part and I certainly would like more of these types of shows so I'll support it.

I hope it gets Viking violent!

I just finished watching the second episode. I'm liking the series so far. Hopefully it gets a following so it can last a couple more seasons.

Just watched the first 4 episodes of the series and think it is really good. Some of the acting is a tad weak, but some is also very solid (Gabriel Byrne being the best, IMO) and I like the plot so far. Will definitely continue to watch.

Also, the dude that plays Ragnar Lothbrok looks alot like the dude that plays Jax on Sons of Anarchy, IMO.

Game of Thrones isn't just for fantasy enthusiasts, they're telling human stories in a fantasy world

You must not be in favor with Thor he didn't bless you with his Hammer lol.
I'm hooked on this show the Earle is vile and it will be interesting to see if the writers evolve Ragnar as a ethical warrior via through his own values and the monk.
Its kind of hard to like a band of un merry men that travel the land butchering unarmed villagers and priest.
If you are able to PVR this weeks episode its worth it. The story really ramps up.

Very happy to hear it's been picked up for another season. I've been really enjoying the series so far. I don't know enough about the real history to know how much they're stretching the truth but I prefer excitement over historical accuracy when watching serialized TV.

Bump!

Just wondering how many CPers watch this. Just picked up Season 2 on Blu-Ray and it's been fantastic.

Season 3 was picked up as well so we will be getting more of the show. Just surprised there is no talk about it
