Vikings

Post by Darrell »

Any fans of the show here? This is the one on History Channel, season three wrapped up a week or two back. I wound up ordering seasons one and two on DVD, and have enjoyed watching them all over again. Some of the best TV I've seen in a while. It's semi-historical docudrama, I gather Ragnar Lothbrok is something of a legendary figure. His brother Rollo on the show, and son Bjorn Ironside, are historical figures. There's scenery, action, drama, treachery, great characters and some good looking babes all wrapped up together. Great stuff IMO. I believe it's on Netflix and/or Hulu if that's an option for you. Highly recommended!

I'm a fan....eagerly awaiting the next season. A few years back, my mom and sister spend a lot of time tracing our ancestry. Not sure how credible it is, but they were able to trace us through Europe to a Viking named Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye....one of Ragnar's sons of legend.

My Sister and her kids are into it. My nephew was an extra in one of the fight scenes last year if I remember correctly.
