As the name suggests, Vikings is a TV series about the expeditions and conquests of the fearless Scandinavian warriors and it starts from the time Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the most popular legendary Norse heroes, started the raids to England. According to some critics, Vikings has many historical inaccuracies and several events are fictional, but in general, it’s worth a look. If fights, blood, decapitated heads and cut-off arms aren’t really what you’d like to watch in order to relax after work, you may want to avoid this series.
