Like it for what it is

The Vikings TV series seems to be spinning off a sub genre of 1000 AD action shows. At least that is how I see this one. Cross Ragnar with the High Plains Drifter. Distilled Man with No Name with a Ragnar L. haircut. Wish they had explained how a Norman boy transformed into a Viking bad-ass. Love the berserkers by the way. I like the style, the weird electronic score. It is more like a dream world than realistic.

The colors are black and white.

The landscape science fiction. Not even true to history.There were no stone castles three years after 1066!

No originality to the plot. Really it is the classic a stranger comes to town.

But that's OK I was entertained. I like it for what it is.
