A couple of surprises for me in this last episode. Didn't expect so many main players to get the axe. Excellent first season. I hope they can carry it on as well in season 2, assuming there is a season 2. Being BBC it could be over, or two years before we see more.
I loved this season. Only 8 episodes sucks...I would definitely watch season 2. Didn't expect some of the plot turns in the final episode. For a season finale it was very well done for an hour episode but left wanting a little bit more.
Do you guys recommend Vikings? I'm looking for some new shows to dive into. I always got the impression that show was ok but nothing amazing. Am I wrong there?
Doesn't matter as they're quite distinct, but the events in Vikings do start earlier in this period. Understand that they both take liberties with the setting.
Glad to hear it. I read the first 7 or so books. While they became a little formulaic, I think they would make great tv-- so long as the fighting was well choreographed (considering that was the best part of the books).
