FTA-TV Vikings

[Holy Foley!]

Is anyone else watching this new series?

Follows the rise and power of Ragnar Lothbrok, reportedly one of the greatest heroes of his time, who conquered much of Scandinavia and surrounding lands. The series was created by Michael Hirst (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Camelot), and written in collaboration with the History Channel.

So far the first 2 episodes are out, and I must say they are quite solid.

Might give it a blast HF, looks a helluva lot better than the Kirk Douglas/Tony Curtis flick

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yep, I'm into. Seems good so far. I'm a bit of a history buff and I like the Irish and Canadian scenery.

It's like JAX mark II

Nice pilot I am intrigued.

 

[Holy Foley!]

What's JAX?

Ep 3 out 17/3 for anyone interested.

Ep 3 is out. For some reason the seem to be coming out 3 days before what is listed.

Fairly boring episode I thought. Not a lot happened, but next episode(s) set up well. I still think they've butchered the language component of the show, I find it's a mess.

I'm off after a couple of episodes. Might jump back on some time down the line but it's not doing much for me.

 

[Holy Foley!]

Yeah, 3 episodes in and not a lot of progression. I'll probably give it a couple more.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I haven't seen episode 3 yet. It airs on Sunday here. I'm enjoying it though. I love imagining what the Vikings or the monks would have felt. Different worlds colliding with no idea of what was in front of them.

probably agree, pretty slow but definately worth watching.

 

[Holy Foley!]

Much better episode. More action but a little lacklustre until the final few scenes. There's some good tension building between the earl and Ragnar, hopefully will lead to something big.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Yep, like this show it has potential.

Yeah first thing I thought too, apparently hes an Aussie model.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Love the opening credits too. Cool shot of the ships from underwater.

 

[Elixuh]

I actually didn't think it was that slow. I thought when they got on the boat to travel to England that they would be on the boat for an episode or so and then spend another few episodes in England.

Just seen ep4 and yes, I'm on. "Now, who's got the keys?". It's getting better and better.
Can't believe the lead Travis Fimmel is from Echuca!

I didn't even know he was an Aussie. That's kinda cool. How come you guys are getting the show before us?? Not fair! It's a Canadian production.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Watched trhe first 3 eps back-to-back-to back. I'm well and truly in. Didn't think it was slow at all. The ongoing enmity between Ragnar and The Earl looks interesting

 

[Heisenberg_]

Loved it watched the first 4 on Sunday and reckon we could be on a winner here.

 

[Crimson Azure]

'Slave, do you want to join us?'

 

[Varcoe2Chapman]

This got recommended to me. And generally i don't get recommended crap.

 

[Bobby P]

Will get tonight. Looks good and who does not love Vikings!?

The Saxon chick who copped Canute from behind maybe one (You'll get what I mean after ep 4 )

Shield Maiden is tops!
