I have been a devoted follower of this show from the very first episode.  I love this program.  Exceptional casting all around.  Great storytelling.  Needless to say, I will keep watching until the very last episode.

I was actually surprised to see History hosting a few of the newer episodes for free (well with ads.) Thankfully Hulu has the full deal if you are a member.. http://www.hulu.com/vikings

Just started watching it today, so far I'm liking it!

You will get hooked on it.  Do not skip any episodes and watch them in order by season, Drakie

Footnote: In the U.S. nudity was not  shown but when filmed, it was from time to time.

That site blocks hotlinks quite aggressively, so most people will not be able to view that.

I am watching it on Hulu, and they do seem to have the uncensored parts (or at least I have seen a few scenes with nudity). I am up to episode 8 on season 1, really interesting set of characters so far, can't wait to binge watch the rest!

Had a friend who's into history point out a load of historical inconsistencies in the show. Sort of ruined it for me because when I've watched in the past it's all I've been able to think about.

Hirst tries to follow history as much as he can, but keep in mind that during that time, much of what is recorded of them, was written by others.   He does sway from history in a few areas but overall, its incredible.  Rollo and Ragnar were not brothers for example, and years apart.  But you would have to read the interviews with the writer to understand, I think.

Now that I think of it, definitely need to add Travis Fimmel (Ragnar) to my celebrity crushes list :smiley:

I got into it late, one of my mates at military academy was watching it. Love that it's based on historical figures. If not completely accurate. Good to see Ivar get his revenge.

Is that a spoiler :P

I couldn't get into this show for some reason in the first season. Maybe I should give it another go..

No not a spoiler, because the last Ep has set it up. But see how close they get to history.

Season 4 just ended. Incredible.  Season 5 is 3/4 the way through production in Ireland now.  It will return in March.

I was with Vikings from the first season also. Love. This. Show. Little sceptical about any potential new stuff if you know what I mean. Trying not to give any spoilers

i really like vikings too - it's from our past, and even though it's not completely accurate as history the ways of living, the attitudes and the general settings are very realistic!  for the ones debating history accuracy in the show you have to understand that most of what we know about the vikings themselves are from stories (called sagas) written down a few hundred years later, for instance ragnar is very renowned, but difficult to place historically whereas his sons are well accounted for and you can visit Rollo's grave in the cathedral in Rouen, France.  :laugh:

Agree with you on that, if you want to expand and look into it more I think the show is good for giving you the outline. The rest you just have to look up your self. Got to say love the way they have portrayed Ivar.
Not sure want to get on the wrong side of him.
