horabi I watched Game of Thrones, Vikings, Narcos, House of Cards, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead,....... THIS ONE IS THE BEST AMONG THEM ALL!!!!!!!!

mmccon12 I'll keep it quick and simple. Having read the book(s), I was already hesitant to watch this, especially when I saw that a dark haired, goatee bearing gentleman, wearing a leather and fur outfit was portraying Uhtred of Bebbanburg. The Uhtred in the book and the Uhtred in this TV series reside in two different universes. The Uhtred described by Cornwell in his books compares very little to that of this Uhtred in the TV series. From his personality to actual physical description, there is no resemblance. Uhtred is not the only character they "polished" up for TV. Many of the characters they bring into the TV series resemble very little, if not at all, the books detailed, dark, and interesting characters. Lastly, the pace of the show leaves out so much detail, its insulting. Some Harry Potter fans would love the movies to have been a TV series, so that you'd be able to fit so much more from the books to the screen with each season and multiple episodes. This show does the opposite, by having the entire first book as the first episode of the the TV series. You have the opportunity to add so much more, yet you take so much away. In conclusion, I'm not saying this is a bad show, my review is mostly a warning to those who have read the book(s). The vast differences in characters, plot design, and pace of the story might leave you disappointed.

offsmith Just happened to find this show scrolling through Netflix one day. So happy I found this series.The first episode was good, but it took 2-3 to draw me in. I think the plot and story are just great. It is a twist on the Viking world that is currently taking TV by storm. The actors do a phenomenal job with their characters and interaction with one another. I love how the relationships have developed between all of the characters in this world, between Uhtred/Alfred/Ragnar and just the many many other characters how have strained and strengthened relationship. I have turned several friends onto this who are GoT fans. I think this series is right there with GoT.I can't wait for another year of it and I am interested in where they take the story and the characters!

rsvp321 Two years between seasons? I give you a two star rate.No excuse for this! A high production show like GOT can make it annual, why can't you?For the record, I really liked this show, but it lost my interest with these huge gaps.If it got cancelled, I wouldn't even notice.
