Vikings

Anyone else catch the start of the new series on Amazon prime last Thursday?
Loved the first 2 series and not disappointed with how this first episode looked, fucking great TV. Naked blonde beauties...verywhere...shagging, loads of gratuitous violence, one mad bastard and (allegedly) relatively accurate to folklore/legend.
What's not to like?

There's hardly any in the new series. The only problem I've got with it is that the scale is very cheap. In the first series they took on two whole kingdoms with about 30 warriors. I'm not buying that.

Not that much blood and gore considering the subject matter. Spartacus it aint.

I agree about Spartacus. All gets a bit boring. I'm sure Vikings used to present a bit more flesh.

Nope, a TV show that sells itself with good acting and storylines..No T and A required.

I don't think there's been one naked woman in the current series.

Rome is also incredibly accurate. If I could show it to the students without losing my job I would. Even the magic spells and curses are verbatim from the time.(yes I have a book of spells and curses from late republican Rome)
The scripts are excellent.
The acting is excellent.
Even the main characters are real soldiers mentioned in Caesars Civil Wars

If you love this and fancy trying something in a similar key but far more disturbing, I recommend the Nicolas Winding Refn film 'Valhalla Rising'.
It's very weird and trippy, but if you are too, then you'll bloody love it. Mads Mikkelsen is superb in the main role.

"gratuitous violence"
Really? I thought it was quite tame in that regard, considering the subject matter.

I agree Rome is the best of that genre.
Saw 'Hammer Of The Gods" last night. Sort of Viking in Heart Of Darkenss (Apocolypse now)...pretty shit though.

Agreed...Sometimes you can just see too much T&A and eventually you come to realise its there to hide that fact there is no decent storyline...

That's the one Swiss! Great stuff. Appreciate it ain't gonna get the grey cells working too much, but, there's not that much entertainment in the vein of Vikings/Spartacus on TV. Anyone know of any other similar series?

Thats the chap. The thing is about 10 years ago the yanks discovered they could put nipples and knobs on cable TV. Since then they've been like a dog with two dicks and squeeze it in anywhere without reference to plot or mood.
