There are series that leave a long mark on the television world and which remain forever in the hearts of fans to the point that they can watch the whole thing several times with the same pleasure every time.
Vikings is one of them. Airing from 2013 to 2020, the Michael Hirst-created series finally entered popular culture by telling the epic tale of Ragnar Lodbrok (Travis Fimmel), a Viking warrior with a penchant for adventure and new conquests who explores the West, carving out a place. for himself as a leader and to pass on to his successors a taste of adventure and power.
Despite being over, Vikings is often cited as a must-see series that fans occasionally watch and that audiences miss. Netflix acquired the streaming rights and launched a spin-off series called Vikings: Valhalla, set 100 years later.

I suggest you check out Barbarians, an ambitious German epic. This chronology by Gaumont commemorates the conflict that helped shape Europe: the Battle of Varus in the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, which pitted the Roman Empire against the Germanic tribes.
In the midst of this historical conflict, Barbarians follows the journey of three childhood friends – Arminius (Laurence Rupp), Sunelda (Jeanne Gursault) and Falquin (David Schutter) – who are bound by tragic fate. In the program of this series: fighting, violence, love, blood, betrayal, conquest, … all the ingredients that made the Vikings a success!
Barbarians is a series that has the opportunity to live up to its ambitions and benefit from spectacular sets, elaborate costumes and attention to detail in its interpretation of Latin-speaking Romans! This German fiction even shares a director with Vikings: Steve St. Leger, who directed several episodes of Barbarians.
Even if the Germans didn’t take kindly to the barbarians, the Netflix series won over the French public. AlloCiné viewers rate it 3.6 out of 5 and describe it like this“A great chili that captivates from start to finish”Like Ignace C., “A great series with its share of drama and suspense” as March. Mauro or “Excellent Reconstruction” for PL.
As of now, Barbarians has two seasons of 6 episodes and fans are eagerly waiting for season 3. So, if you haven’t checked out this series yet and are looking for some new fantasy, through the eyes of a Vikings, bing-watcher, now is the time!
Both seasons of Barbarians are available on Netflix.
