The TV Shows Thread

Looking around Netflix for a new series, I stumbled upon the show, Vikings, that lasted from 2013 - 2020. The first season begins around 793 A.D. when they sail west to England and find their pagan beliefs clash with the Christianity of England.

I'm deep into season 1 and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

My wife and were very into that show years ago. It's maybe not super historically accurate, but it's got lots of good looking people with swords and it was fun. When you get further into it, it would be interesting to hear your opinion (I don't want to spoil anything).

I watched Vikings (will hold comments), but still have on my watch-list to eventually watch Vikings Valhala.
 
Let me guess....black Vikings?
No Black Vikings, at least as far as I remember. And it seems like I would remember. Although, now I'm going to have soft spoil things and admit that we didn't make it through the last few seasons, so maybe they did the Black Viking thing at some point. There was a weird part with a Chinese character, but they didn't depict her as being a Viking, just a slave who was captured and ended up in medieval Scandinavia through a series of events that wasn't much less plausible than anything else in the show.

I get you though. I love Marvel comics (I was into them long before the movies came out) but I've always been reluctant to watch the Thor movies because most of them are considered not very good and the one that's supposed to be good has a Black Valkyrie, which is just annoying.

They went all DEI in the valhalla sequel.
