I'm a huge Katheryn Winnick fan so I may be a little biased. She's not only beautiful but I think she is highly underrated an underappreciated for her acting ability. In the extras for this DVD they explained she does her own stunts and has multiple martial arts degrees. So the multiple complicated fight scenes come fairly easy for her. And the battle scenes in the series are quite well done. The scenery is fantastic and the storytelling is quite good. The hard part about telling Viking history is that it was never written down it was only passed to the Next Generation in the form of their stories. Anyway I'm getting a little long-winded here the storytelling is good the acting is good the battle scenes are great and Vikings are just plain interesting even though they were pretty brutal. I think this was money very well spent!Read full review

Great 'Aryan' cast, but this is even more more unintentionally funny than 'Game of Thrones,' Dreadful dialog as one predictable plot cliché follows another. I bought this following a recommendation from a good friend. So, beware of your friends opinions... I like character-driven drama, not just hollow, predictable cartoony passionless stereotypes. Still, if you like blue-eyed folks with big swords, this is for you! Nevertheless, the dialog is so wooden and flat, you can turn off the sound and create your own.

I got two different copies of this DVD set and BOTH had a bad disk 2 in the set, so I went to WalMart and bought a third set, and this time it was good. What I finally found out was that there are a LOT of KNOCKOFFS being sold as originals on eBay. I have tried telling them (eBay) about it, but they don't want to hear about it. I also wrote Fox (The ones who made the movie) and they don't seem to care either! So, bottom line, to get GOOD copies, I must not buy on eBay and pay a little more, but be assured of getting a REAL copy. The clues were that they all came on single sided DVD's, had NO CSS protection keys, and the whole thing was able to be file copied and played! IOW, ALL protection had been removed. Now you watch... this thread will be taken down also, because those in charge don't want to have to police the originality of DVD's on eBay. If you ignore a problem apparently it will just go away. However, it is illegal, if not immoral! These copies were professionally made because they are on silver DVD's, and home computers cannot burn onto silver blanks. Someone has spent a LOT of money buying equipment to do this, but the rewards and apparent...It's cheaper to copy someone else's work than it is to produce your own. The problem with the knockoffs is "QUAITY" though. They cannot mass duplicate these titles without having bad block errors entering the product, and when your DVD player encounters a bad block, it either pauses, stops, or jumps around trying to find the next good block to read, and can easily throw your laser head out of alignment causing it to have to be repaired. The series is very good, acting is good, plot too, but if it jumps and skips it isn't enjoyable to watch. So let's get someone interested in stopping this blatant piracy. And to show how bad it really is, 4 of the last 6 copies of TV series I bought off of eBay were knockoffs. But at least the quality was better than the first two I bought. At least there were no bad blocks. They played just fine, but they were NOT the originals...they were on single sided DVD's.Read full review
So far this series had lived up to the hype... Good action scenes, drama, storylines... Keeps you watching and waiting to see what will happen next and to what character... Glad there are six seasons to watch so far cause I'm already thru season 1...

This is a great series that breathes a human touch into the transition from heartless raiders (like capitalists today) to Christians.
