The Vikings is a chic historical series, one of the best in its genre, the show can boast of a huge fan base, as well as the fact that he aroused interest in history and revived the fashion for the Vikings.
The Vikings were ordered by the History channel channel, but Canadians and Irish worked on it. The series is striking in large -scale scenes of battles, a solid and deep script, as well as maximum attention to the historical era.
The authors of the series spent a lot of time and money (the budget of the first season is $ 40 million, further the amounts increased) to ensure that the Vikings and their contemporaries look in the show as they were in due time - the VIII - 9 centuries of our era. On the other hand, the absence of accurate historical facts and (floor) the legend of many events allowed the authors of the series a free interpretation of many events.
