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.
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.
Come to think of it, even in the early seasons of the original Vikings, which were great fun, there was a little problem with the warrior princess trope with one character. That is, a female character who was out there fighting hand-to-hand with big, tough male Vikings and winning. It wasn't too, too bad though because they implied she was a shieldmaiden with supernatural strength so you could sort of suspend disbelief.
So I’ll pile on now as well. I enjoyed the early seasons of the Vikings. Simple and strait-forward and entertaining. Then when they ventured into England, I felt there were too many storylines, characters and got to much into the politics side of things. That’s when I checked out. If Vahalla show is DEI heavy, I’ll skip it then. I believe it’s been mentioned on here but The Last Kingdom show was definitely a good watch. I really enjoyed that one.
