I've watched two Vikings now. One fictional, that I tuned out of before the end though the scenery was awesome - the other is a documentary by that lovely Scottish lad Jamie something. I really enjoyed the latter a lot as it was actual history. I know a lot of people that really enjoyed the fictional one too.
I don't know Eagle, it was recommended I catch up by "starting" what did you think of it? Is it worth watching, previews looked interesting.Does it start tonight?
I watched all of last season.

thanks Mo, is this the one you watched...I know they are about to begin Season 2 and I've been thinking of catching up by watching Season 1 on line...haven't started yet but saw some previews that looked interesting so was just wondering if anyone was in love or hate with it

okay thanks for the comments, based on what you have just said, I think I will go for it...I love Game of Thrones which I've heard it similar...I liked it... but I like that type of show. Vikings, intrigue, fighting, looting, plotting. It is set at the dawn of the Viking invasions of Anglo/Saxon Britain.
I am a big Bernard Cornwell fan and he has a series called The Saxon Chronicals. It is about the Viking invasions of Britain. The books were so good so when this series came up last year I watched every one and was not disappointed.
Here is the first book in the series.

thanks, I'll let you know ♦
They say it is based on shows like Game of Thrones and The Tudors as well as the HBO Series Rome. I haven't seen Game of Thrones or The Tudors but I saw Rome from beginning to end. It is of that genre although Rome was fantastic.
But you could call me a fan of Vikings... for what that's worth!
Just finished Episode 1.
OMG....Gariel Byrne is in it. I love this actor. He was in an HBO series called In Treatment which was an amazing show. I kept trying to figure out where I knew him from.
The landscape is breathtaking.
I prefer character driven over plot driven and I think this show is going to be character driven, with a well developed plot...well acted but I will need to see a couple more to be sure.
So far giving it a definitely highly interested.
I am starting from the beginning, so I would say yes. The acting is very good, there's a kid in it and his acting is very good so that gives you an idea about the quality of direction and production. I think it is going to be a winner. I just started episode 2 and it is grabbing me and pulling me in. I really like Game of Thrones. I was watching Talking Dead the other night and they mentioned Game of Thrones and then Viking, since I like both of the former I decided to investigate Viking. Like others here have mentioned... it's good.So should I record the repeats and watch from the start??????

Have you read Cornwell's Sharpe series set during the Napoleonic Wars? Pretty good stuff.
