I can honestly say, hand downs, best TV show ever done. To me and many many others around the world who feel the same, even after watching Game of Thrones since the beginning, once you watch Vikings and it pulls you in, you can't get back into Game of Thrones as much as you used to. That's just one example of its greatness.
Seriously though, once you start watching Vikings from the beginning and watch how it all unfolds, how the characters express their story about themselves and especially the beautiful scenery, you'll be hooked and patiently waiting for the next episode to screen.
The only issue that I have, amongst others around the globe is the fact we now have to wait a whole year to watch season 3. Definitely worth the wait but annoying none the less... Considering I already have nostalgia and it's only been a couple weeks since the Finale.. Already watched the whole season 2 three times since the Finale screened. :(
After reading a view here regarding the show and some of the negatives expressed towards character development of Floki and Siggy for example. All I can think is, this person obviously hasn't watched the series and just skimmed through it, because all those characters are explained and if you actually watch it, you'll see it all. All the glances, the intelligent thinking going on by Ragnar behind the scenes and so on. It's all there if you watch it and I really cannot understand why anyone, even the worst critics on this planet could even say one negative about this show.
It has everything, period. Best. Show. On. Earth.
Get it now, you won't be disappointed one bit.
