Customer Ratings & Reviews

If your gonna start a series on vikings, make it more exciting... don't see what all the hub bub is about this series. Couldn't hardly make it through the 1st season. Saw a latter season episode on the history channel to see if it got more exciting (trying to give it a chance. No such luck

My husband is actually the reason why we both decided to watch Vikings Season 1 together (so far we have watched up to Season 2 espisode 2). I had actually had this show as one of the ones I’m following in my tumblr feed and recently took my husband up on his offer to watch it with me (we are both open-minded about what each other watches, but there are certain shows I watch on my own and there are ones he watches on his own). However, this is one show that we both can agree on because of the adventure, intrigue, and the element of always leaving the viewer to guess what is going to happen. The show centers around the character of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), his friend Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard),Ragnar’s wife Lagertha (Kateryn Winnick), and his brother Rollo (Clive Standen). Ragnar has an understandable aggressive streak essential for this survivor. However, he also has a large heart of gold hidden beneath his tough exterior for his wife Lagertha, their children Bjorn (Nathan O’ Toole) and Gyda (Ruby O’ Leary), his brother Rollo, and a strong kinship with his friend Floki. Ragnar has an overriding goal to conquer lands beyond his own homeland. As naturally expected, both Ragnar and those closest to them experience various detours along the way towards their objective of expanding their lands. I want to say more, however I am concerned of providing too many spoilers for those who have yet to see the Viking series. Normally, I mention who my favorite characters of the show are yet I feel guided to discuss just my husband’s favorite characters for this show. My husband sees the good in various characters portrayed within the episodes of the Viking series that we have seen so far. However, my husband admitted that Ragnar and Floki are two of his favorite characters of the Viking series. He likes Ragnar because there is a sense of calm and confidence about him unless the lives of those closest to him are danger (including members of his community). I think that my husband also admired the character portrayal shown on how Ragnar could separate how he has to be in battle while carefully retaining his soul and sense of feeling for his wife, children, his brother, and his allies (including Floki). My husband also admired the character of Floki because of his assured and energetic spirit as well as how he helps out Ragnar and his wife regardless of what is in it for him.. For instance, I noticed that my husband mentioned how Floki was also one of his favorite characters when there was a scene where Floki chose to help out Ragnar and his wife even with being uncertain as to where and when he would get his next food stores (there is a scene where Lagertha expresses concern at Floki generously sharing what was left of the last of his essential food for the winter). However, even with no guarantee of a positive or negative outcome, Floki’s character is seen expressing to Lagertha that she and her husband Ragnar have no reason to fear as he trusts that he will still somehow be provided for.

I've been watching the Vikings since it started but may have missed a few shows but not many. Decided to buy season 1 and shared it with my husband who didn't watch it with me at the time. He is now enjoying it. . Just ordered season 2 and 3 and plan on keeping it in my DVD library. I'm addicted to the Vikings. Usually watch it again on free on demand. Can't get enough of them.

When I saw the advertisements, I was sceptical because of all the violence and gore. I rescently found out I'm part Scandinavian. Decided to read the reviews. I'm glad I did. I bought season 1-3 on Blu Ray without seeing a single episode. Just finished season 1.I love it. (NOT FOR YOUNG KIDS) Violence, Language, Gore.....

I love how this show despite being on the history channel is very in your face look as to how vikings really were back in the day! I like how they do not pull any punches with this series!

This purchase was an easy choice since it was so modesty priced. This DVD was a great beginning to a great series.

This show makes history come alive. See the Vikings first attack on England. See what it took to be a viking
