Vikings arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Vikings moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. The adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok, the greatest hero of his age. The series tells the sagas of Ragnar's band of Viking brothers and his family, as he rises to become King of the Viking tribes. As well as being a fearless warrior, Ragnar embodies the Norse traditions of devotion to the gods. The physicality Alex Høgh Andersen and Jordan Patrick Smith bring elevates every sequence. The series ran for 6 seasons (2013–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Vikings earns its bigger moments by making you care about the outcome before it happens. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.
