Some of you guys mentioned this show in teamspeak. I believe it was Oface and deadman that were talking about it, so I decided to check it out.
I believe this is History Channel first real show. I avoid the History Channel. It used to be a great channel, until Disney bought them out and started placing a Judaic-Christian undertone to most of their programming. The Military History Channel is still good though.
Regardless of all of that, Vikings is a great show and had me hooked from the first pilot episode. This was surprising. Though, there is still the whole Christianity spreading to the Vikings part of the story line, it is not so blatant propaganda that it takes away from the show. Can not really ignore it though, because the Church was pretty ransacked by the Vikings all across England and northern France. They have to incorporate it into the show.
The story is compelling, the characters are pretty kickass and interesting, and there was, what I would say, some historical accuracy to their first battle scene skirmish.
