You Should Be Watching VIKINGS
Vikings are awesome. Today the ancient Norse have attained a mythical reputation, blended with dragon ships, unstoppable warriors and grandiose gods. Vikings show up in a lot of places. Tuesday and Thursday are both named after Norse gods. Thor has proven to be a resilient – and eventually very popular – character for Marvel. Words like ‘Valkyrie’ and ‘Valhalla’ are …
This trailer for season three of VIKINGS will have you reaching for your shields
One show that has reminded people why they dislike fear gingers is History’s Vikings, a gritty ‘fantasy history’ show that follows the life of Ragnar Lothbrok, played with some serious intensity by ex-Calvin Klein model Travis Fimmel.
