Default "Vikings" Has Returned For a New Season

The series 'Vikings" has returned for another season on History Channel. Get to experience all of Ragnar's wacky antics that made the Middle Ages middlin'". Worth mentioning the Viking ex-wife is still hotter than a $100 Martin.

They seem to be Scandinavia's #1 export...

My wife and I have watched Vikings from the beginning, and the show kicked some serious @ss right out of the gate...

But I think if the writers don't do something about Ragnar being "whipped" by all the women in his life, and stop his constant whining about Athelstan, I'm going to pull the plug this season...

I really enjoyed the programme. Which series is to start screening in the USA?

I can't find anything about screening in the UK ...something about AmazonTV ...? We don't get that.

Have to think it will show in the UK as most of the actors are English.

I'm getting a bit sick of all these olden days history lessons disguised as entertainment we are being served up.

What with this, Hercules,the Legendary Journeys, Spartacus Blood and Sand and Game of Thrones I've become an expert on the middle ages.
Sometimes there's just more facts than I can take on board.

Come on TV companies, wake up and give us some good old private eye capers or westerns !
