"Vikings" is a Historical Fiction Drama about the life of Ragnar Loðbrok - a character who was potentially, even possibly, real, but primarily existed in Viking myth. I say "fictional" and "drama" for that is what it is - there's no two ways about it that this is certainly not what happened in myth, or in history, but that doesn't stop this series from being one of the most moving, most emotional, and somehow, most relatable shows of all time, despite following Northmen from the 9th century. I've watched up to the end of Season 4, and slightly into Season 5, and I intend to keep watching, even though I have heard less favourable things about the last two seasons. An amazing story about a man who did not seek power, but was forced to take it, by, as Ragnar himself says "Other people's actions". If you have Netflix and are thinking of watching this show, then I would definitely recommend it. The only other thing I can advise is that this show does live up to it's MA15+ rating, so I would not advice it for younger viewers. I was planning to write a really long review on the characters and their motivations and writings, but I ran out of space :_(

I remember watching my dad play this game as well as playing this game (not that much though) myself. 5/5, no question.

Not as bad as people think. Still, it's only 2 stars, if I'm being generous. I understand that the characters are intentionally flawed, but it's basically a whole different cast of characters in personality (and no I don't care about the race-swapping. As long as it doesn't change the characters). Everyone is cruel and mean to each other, and I understand that as an Adult Animated Comedy, it has to do this, but it's insufferable as a Scooby Doo show.

TL;DR Basically what feminists really say (all men are bad and women are perfect in every way). I’m fine with empowering women and showing that they can do just as much as men, just as well (or even better in some circumstances), but this is ridiculous. The people that think it’s a 5/5 either like it because of the empowerment (which is on the nose and just seems to disregard the complex processes that heroes like Bruce had to go through, both mentally and physically) or the CGI (which isn’t really any better than usual Marvel CGI, so…). The main character is the textbook definition of a Mary Sue, a character with no flaws. The whole of episode one is just her complaining about how she isn’t allowed to go back to normal life, even though she *seems* fine (which is to say that she is overconfident with her control and impatient with Bruce trying to help her) and she is stronger, faster and smarter(?) at every sense than Bruce. It really just seems like Marvel (or Disney, idk anymore) just wanted to jump onto the bandwagon of speaking out for women’s rights, which in this day and age especially, is more equal than ever before. For example, she mentions that she has to control her anger every time a *man* says that they know more about her job than her. It lumps men into a category as if they all think and act the same. Funny, that, actually, considering that most of the women in episode one are the same; supportive and helpful. I would be fine with it if it wasn’t THE MAIN THEME OF THE EPISODE, and it was just some parts in here or there.

I think this is not a bad show for children, I don't like it personally as I have to hear it while my cousin watches it all the time and I personally just think it is lazy.
