If you're not watching Vikings on the History Channel...

[nikkiARNGwife]

you want to tell me why not?



Seriously though...if you like historical type shows this one is really really good. We're hooked and it's been renewed for a second season

[Robin Carlton]

Agreed! It is an awesome show and he is YUMMY!

[YepBrook]

Might have to check that show out.

[Mari Koegelenberg]

Oh I know he is sooo delish!!!! lol But I do love the story...I love history and its a great way to make it come to life.

[MommaTrish]

Gosh he is so hot.
I hate Sunday shows though because I'm almost never home when they come on! I am so sadly behind on that one because it's not like I can really watch it with any kids around.

[nikkiARNGwife]

It is really well done. The sets and costumes are amazing and I'm a history nut so I love it.

[marlathrall]

I want to watch it now! lol. Hopefully they will put the first season on Netflix?

They may do a marathon of season one since it's getting close to the finale. I know you can watch the past 3-4 episodes online at History.com.

[Julie Billingsley]

I've never heard of this. But we like Viking history and yeah that guy looks compelling to watch Let me know if the first season is being rerun. I'd like to check it out!

[Lyd]

Yeah - never heard of this, but now I'm interested. Let me know if they do a marathon, so I can get it recorded and catch up.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Here's a link to the trailer....

[MommaTrish]

It is really good. Not just for the hotty party.

[maryinaz]

We have this recorded and DH has watched it (he's half Norwegian). But it's on "his" DVR and not mine, so I'm having a hard time finding time to watch it. I loved The Tudors and this is written by the same guy, so I'm sure I would like it.

If anyone hears of a marathon, keep us posted. I'd like to record it. Or if it gets on Netflix.

[Stacey42]

They did a marathon a couple of weeks ago. I was finally able to DVR it but have not been able to watch it yet

[xboxmom]

I am loving it but I am an episode behind, gotta catch up on my DVR'ed shows soon! I have 1 revolution to watch and a new girl and a survivor episode!

[Penny Springmann]

Looks like something I'd enjoy! It's on Sunday night?

[Robin Carlton]

Sunday nights on The History Channel and it is REALLY REALLY good.

[Traci Reed]

Ragnar is my 3rd husband, behind Jax Teller

[nesser1981]

Sean is watching it! I couldn't get into it

[k23m]

i was intrigued until i watched the trailer....looks like too much fighting/blood/gore for me. I am such a wuss!!!

[Keely~B]

Yep I like it too ( I'm not caught up though ). I don't mind sex and violence ( must be all that Viking blood in my gene pool ) They've got it On Demand if you have DirectTv.

[Traci Reed]

It's really not that violent. I've seen much worse!

Oh! I will see if I can get the episodes there - thanks!

[nikkiARNGwife]

I wouldn't say it's terribly violent either...there are some battle and fight scenes but they aren't too bad. I mean I wouldn't let my kids watch it..but I've seen worse too.

[lovely1m]

I'm not watching cause its all on my DVR and I haven't gotten started yet.

[lizj]

The last two episodes took such a weird, dark turn. Human (voluntary?) sacrifice? I am wondering now how historically accurate this is. I loved the show until the last two weeks, but then it reminded me of all the other trendy, dark, dark, how much infidelity can we squeeze into an hour shows that seem pervasive on tevision now. I mean I realize that the Vikings had a tough life, but can't we see one guy, ever, be faithful to his wife?

[Traci Reed]

Haha Liz!

It's actually pretty accurate. Monogamy in those cultures was not really the most important thing. and human sacrifice was common.

[lizj]

Whoa. Thanks for the links, Traci! I would not have fared well in Viking times, apparently! Okay that makes me feel a little better knowing at least it's historically accurate, as far as we know. But I would still like Ragnar better if he could have been nicer to the little woman, while she was home dealing with plagueidden funeral pyres. Sheesh.

[xboxmom]

I am way behind on my Vikings! LOL

[LeeAndra]

We have 'Amish cable' (just what's broadcast over the air), so no HC for us.

Is it on Netflix or Hulu?

[lovely1m]

I'm not reading anything before this, but I finally started last night. One episode in and I am hooked.

It's on Hulu or you can watch it on History Channel's App on an iPad

[tanyiadeskins]

it is actually a really good show!

[lovely1m]

OK, I got all caught up on the show. I loved it, but I agree with Liz. The last two episodes took a dark turn. I did realize its pretty accurate, but still caught me off guard. And I yelled at Ragnar for cheating on her. His wife is hotter and more hard core than the other chick anyway. I still liked it quite a bit and can't wait for next season.

[lizj]

I've been hoping they'd put the next season on soon, but the promo on the History channel says season 2 isn't until 2014. The sneak peek must have been really hard to film, it's action-packed!

[lovely1m]

I was just wondering how much longer I'll need to wait.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Yeah it's on of those mid season shows...

and all last season I kept thinking of how I'd seen Travis Fimmel somewhere before...he used to be a Calvin Klein model...remember this?

[lovely1m]

Ummm.....wow, Nikki.

[Traci Reed]

That's hot but he's hotter as a viking <3

[nikkiARNGwife]

Yeah..he looks really young in that ad. I can't wait for season 2
