While you're waiting for the finale of Vikings....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norsemen_(TV_series)
Norsemen takes place in 790s Norway, with various characters taking leading role as the series develops. The story covers the life of Vikings in the village of Norheim, with day-to-day happenings and strife of varying comedic degrees. As the series progresses, disputes with neighboring villages, including a rival tribe led by the ruthless Jarl Varg, and the efforts of a Roman slave, Rufus, to modernize Norheim's culture, result in ongoing conflicts.

Soon!
A truly remarkable series. As "The History Buffs" on YouTube comments, "Vikings" doesn't strive to achieve exact historical fidelity, but does a great job in conveying the overall "feel" of the early 10th and 11th centuries. In that sense, it's like "Master and Commander," historical fiction done right.
I am so looking forward to the conclusion of this epic story.
I might just go back and review the first 10 episodes, because Ivar.

Plenty of surprises
Including some that could be predicted if you have been paying attention

I binged through the first half of the season, fast-forwarding through a lot of the irrelevant stuff and battle scenes to get caught up.
Today, I start the second half.

Can you talk a bit about the upcoming spinoff, Vikings: Valhalla?
It's set 100 years from my show, and it features actually some more famous Vikings. People might have heard of Harald Hardrada and Erik the Red. It's a new kind of heroic age, a very different canvas. The Christians and the Christian Vikings are making huge headroads. What Floki always feared is coming to pass. And also, Jeb Stuart, who's writing the show, is essentially a thriller writer, so it is going to be different in many ways. It's a great tribute to the show, I think, that Netflix wanted to do a spinoff.

I am delighted to see they will proceed. Most people, myself included, did not understand the impact the Vikings had on the known world. There's a lot more story to tell.
We are four episodes in. Well, I am. MFR is not a fan.

It was a satisfying ending to a long, long story.
But, there were, IMO, too many "throwaway" stories - Finehair's witch wife, for example. The whole Greenland subplot for another. It's almost as though they tried to extend the story to last another 10 episodes.
Historically, there were lots of liberties taken, even more than in previous seasons.
:::
No evidence that Ubbe made it to North America, for example.
:::
:::
Nevertheless, it was nice to see Floki again. He was the unifying character through the series.
:::
I enjoyed it, overall. A lot. Time well spent and very entertaining. High production values, great sets and scenery. Interesting characters, and a story that always seemed to be "going somewhere" despite the detours I mentioned above.

I would agree 100%. I want to go back and watch an episode from season 1 just to see how much it all evolved.
