Vikings

Season 3 Trailer.


Merely thinking about this series causes a gush of excitement through my system. This historic TV series replays the raiding , trading and exploring of the early Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia, following the exploits of the Viking legend, Ragnar Lothbrok.

A farmer turned ruler after a series of events is driven by the vision of land and life beyond the sea- his destiny. He led his people on successful deadly explorations and raids with the support of his brother Rollo, his son Bjorn and his wives, it is on record that this guy was a bundle of trouble for England and France in those days. Other clans too decided to join the party and this led to a clash of interest and switching of alliances among his men and the other clan leaders.

This show tells the legendary tale of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) in such a captivating way that will keep you glued to the screen along with other interesting characters like Floki, Lagertha etc with a their own personality and a lot of screen time.

How can I forget the opening theme song, ''If I had a heart'' by Fever Ray. I am always in the habit of skipping opening theme songs of most shows, but not this one. That's how gripping the song is.

This show comes highly recommended with a rating of 8.6 on IMDb, so go get Season 1 and 2.
