Vikings

Vikings is a Canadian-Irish historical drama television series, written and created by Michael Hirst for the television channel History. It premiered on March 3, 2013 in the United States and Canada.
Filmed in Ireland, Vikings is inspired by the tales about the Viking Ragnar Lodbrok, one of the best-known Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of France and Britain. It portrays Ragnar as a Viking farmer who pioneers the first daring raids into Britain with the support of fellow warriors, his brother Rollo, and his wife, the shieldmaiden Lagertha.
On April 5, 2013, History renewed Vikings for a ten-episode second season.

Εν ολίγοις στα ελληνικά: Ιστορικό δράμα, εποχής των Βίκινκγς και του ιστορικού προσώπου Ράγνκαρ Λόθμπροκ, που αργότερα γίνεται βασιλιάς, ζει λαμπρά, ήταν πρωτοπόρος και λοιπά. Στην πρώτη σίζον κυρίως βλέπουμε το πως ανέρχεται από αγρότης/πολεμιστής, σε Earl, κάτι σαν αρχηγός της κοινότητας στην οποία ζει. Κάθε χρόνο οι βίκινγκς κάνουν επιδρομές το καλοκαίρι. Ως τώρα πηγαίνουν με τα πλοία τους στην Ανατολή και στην Ρωσσία. Ο Ράγκναρ όμως θέλει να πάει στην Δύση, σίγουρος πως θα βρει λάφυρα.
