Plots(1)
A monastery in Lindesfarne is about to get a firsthand look at how the Vikings operate. In and out in a flurry of violence and terror, Ragnar and his crew raid the monastery for everything it contains, from treasure to monks who can be sold as slaves. Unable to ignore the riches this unsanctioned journey has returned, Earl Haraldson has no choice but to agree to let these warriors undertake a second trip out. The West has now been opened for the taking by Ragnar Lothbrok, and the world of the Vikings will never be the same. (History Channel)

A slightly rushed return visit to England and the first bland battle, which, although very cruel, is considerably clumsily shot, reminiscent in places of a B-movie and considerably cheesier series. That said, the atmosphere is still solid and there’s no lack of great characters.

The creators definitely score points with one of my favorite themes, and I’m continually amazed by the trials the Boss puts his loyal followers through. It's incredibly entertaining. Amen.
