Don't Believe the Hype

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Can't believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. Tired of seeing the Brits play other cultures. Ridiculous when actors from those original cultures are available to provide a true read on the spirit of their people. Funny, funny, funny! Good for your immune system, and educational as well.

Incredibly non-pc, gross, scatological and shocking, this is also one of the best written and truly hysterical comedies I have seen in forever; A refreshing bit of dark dark comedy that leaves me in tears when I am not gasping "did they really say that??!!". It's a gem. watch it and savor.

I just stumbled across this on Netflix. I clicked expecting a knock off of Vikings. Something to fill the GOT void.Instead I got an interesting surprise, a Viking comedy. So the gritty look of history channels Vikings but actually a lot of humour. Some dark humour and some base humour(which fits the Viking idea very well). It reminds me of the kids show horrible histories, but this is definitely not one for kids. I can see the comparisons between this to Monty python but I actually don't find Monty python funny where this I did.The humour may be down to personal taste but I found myself genuinely Laughing at the antics, which is something I don't do often enough with the mainstream comedies.In regards to one review saying about the accents....really!? I think the accents actually help make it feel more genuine. Also, these guys filmed in both Norwegian and English that deserves serious kudos. Personally, I massively prefer the accents over dubbing and subtitles.This is one show which needs a second season.

I'm on the 4th episode and I have to admit this series is astounding. Well written, acted, directed, filmed, and with costumes, location and set(s) that fit the era. Most importantly, it's hysterical. So...random. Keeps me happy. It's obvious there's good chemistry between the cast and crewTo all of the folks who put this show on...Mange tak! Mr. Kelly McDowell
