An epic fiction that plunges you into the distant past, where glory and blood go hand in hand.
VIII century. A small Scandinavian town called Kattegat. A Viking warrior and farmer is secretly working on a project that promises to change the world. This man explores and raids distant shores and his ambition is not appreciated by a local chief, who would rather continue plundering the impoverished east than go to the unknown west. The protagonist joins forces with an eccentric friend who builds ships to conquer the rough seas of the north.
If you still haven’t figured out which series we’re talking about, here’s the last clue: the rebel man we’re talking about is called Ragnar Lothbrok. Vikings, the fiction that you can find in the Netflix catalog, is a sign that the Middle Ages in Europe were worse than Game of Thrones.
Created by Michael Hirst, Vikings is a real gem broadcast between 2013 and 2020. The series portrays a universe of conquests, conflicts and Norse mythology that dives into a distant past where glory and blood went hand in hand.
This historical drama, starring Travis Fimmel and Katheryn Winnick, is inspired by the Scandinavian sagas of Ragnar Lodbork, one of the most legendary Viking heroes. These stories, poorly documented and built on oral tradition, allow the Vikings to take certain liberties, mixing historical landmarks that are actually separated by several decades.
Netflix has in its catalog the complete six seasons of Vikings – for a total of 89 episodes – and if you want more, you can also watch the sequel Vikings: Valhalla, set 100 years after the events of the original fiction.
