Netflix has impressed streamers after acquiring all six seasons of the gripping historical series Vikings , which is being hailed as a “masterpiece.” Consisting of 89 episodes, UK viewers can binge-watch Travis Fimmel’s iconic and unforgettable role as Ragnar Lothbrok. The show follows his turbulent journey of being a Viking warrior among the choppy waters of his thirst for power.
Across the six seasons, viewers are also introduced to the next generation and witness their exploits as they bear the burden of their father. The star-studded cast also includes Katheryn Winnick, Gustaf Skarsgard, Alexander Ludwig and Georgia Hirst. After premiering in 2013, Vikings became an instant hit after sharing a breathtaking look at the Irish landscape and received an average score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Despite debuting on the History Channel , the show’s popularity saw it become available to stream worldwide including in America on Hulu. While every season received an impressive score from the review aggregator, its sixth and final instalment gained the enviable 100% score. Ahead of its arrival on Netflix , passionate fans shared their thoughts including one who penned: “This might be the best show I've ever seen.
just finished and now I don't know what to do with myself.” Another confessed: “I mourned when this show was over, but it was so beautiful while it lasted. Must watch, no question.
A+ show from beginning to end.” A third critic remarked: “The thrills take their time, but when they come, they come with a mighty rush.” While another noted: “Vikings has been nominated for a string of Emmy awards, in categories ranging from editing to special visual effects, but has yet to receive any.
An absolute travesty.”.
