Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the show, the Siege of Paris occurs in the year 804. However, Paris was actually first attacked 41 years later and the year-long Siege of Paris did not actually occur until 885.
- GoofsGaia Weiss' character is wrongly identified as "Porunn". Actually the name begins with the letter "thorn", a letter common in Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Gothic and still today in Icelandic. The name should be written as Þorunn. Obviously, a P is not TH. The same error occurs in the subtitles of the commercially released DVD.
- Quotes
Ragnar Lothbrok: [Praying to Athelstan] You think I went too far with Floki. Can you actually believe that he thought that I would let him lead without having an agenda? If I was him, I would worry less about the gods and more about the fury of a patient man.

Featured review
There are three letters in the word "WOW"
And if the IMDb allowed one word reviews (they do not) that would be the whole review.
This reviewer grew up on the "sword and sandals" epics.
And this reviewer was lucky enough to catch the latest iteration of that genre in TV productions like Spartacus (a series so solid that even though the quality lessened as the series wore on, no one really noticed or cared) And now we have Vikings, from the History channel no less.
This could be one of the most perfect hours of TV ever created. It is hypnotic. Part of you wonders whether you are watching something even close to historical fact, and part of you is having so much fun you don't care.
That is TV at its best.
