Season 1 is one of my favorite TV shows ever. The atmosphere of the time is so well done, and I was completely immersed in the story. It's basically a three chapter show, each of which could have played out entirely along it's own lines and been a great show. But each of them taken into a great direction. Loved it.

Season 2 ... I was very confused by this. It's nothing at all like season 1. It really should have been created under another name. I didn't like it and stopped watching after a few episodes. Really wasn't for me, and it was quite disappointing since i expected more after seeing season 1.

Netflix doing what Netflix does best. Unnecessarily ruining everything it touches with forced woke diversity. Seriously, how can you ruin a great series like this that was delivered to them on a golden platter? It's past historical inaccuracies could be forgiven since the show still largely took place in a believable setting with believable cast. But then Netflix comes along and figures ... you know what would make this show better? Diversity! And not just a few foreign merchants, which everyone would be fine with since Vikings did indeed travel far and wide and trade. But to make a black woman leader of Kattegat, and front and center in the show? The fact that it's shoved down your throat like this makes it impossible to suspend disbelief as you could in the previous show, and I had to stop watching. To think I was incredibly excited to see this finally show up on Netflix. I should have known better ... Not only am I not watching, I'm cancelling my Netflix account. I'm sick of this. If you want to see more diversity, how about creating shows about the mighty Zulu warriors or something like that, and not just trying to rewrite history through a rediculous woke lense.

A very underrated show. Excellent casting that grew into their roles. Great writing and a artistic, gritty, bloody art style that really makes it unique. Very glad I gave it a chance. Sad to see Andy Whitfield die before finishing what I'm sure would have been an epic role he would have grown in, having seen how the story progressed. Took me a while to get used to Liam McIntyre but he made that role his own. Hell, I teared up on his death. A great ending. Slow clap.
