2 eps deep in my five screeners. This will debut in late Feb.
This is based on Leif Erikson who is the only Viking I know. It takes place a century after Vikings, which was based on Ragnar Lothbok who is a historic Viking I didn’t know.
So far so good. Viking culture is much like you’d expect. There’s internal struggle within the clans as some are pagan and some are Christian and notably, the Christians are coming off more like bad guys (but they’re Vikings so killing comes swiftly). This feels like the freshest aspect of this series - the rest is typical medieval drama.
Leif’s sister Fredis is a major sword hawtty. Also a historic figure, I’m averting my eyes from wiki until I finish the screeners. I really don’t know much about Leif either apart from his discovery of America.
Where did Vikings poop on long boats? Just curious.
Everyone is dirty except for royalty (cue Python ‘hasn’t got shit all over him’) and the costuming is good.
Fight choreo is decent. Lots of sword, dagger, and axe (of course) with plenty of elbow blows whilst infighting. Some good single shot sequences that go a dozen moves. Nothing too fancy, feels authentic to the period. Enough fight scenes to keep things rolling along.
D00M recommended so far.
