Vikings is a lot of things: brutal, gory, and intense– and more committed to realism than you’d think.
After seven years of twisting storylines and epic battles, the Vikings series finally came to its conclusion earlier this year. From its beginning as a Canadian History Channel exclusive to one of the most popular series , it certainly had quite the run. Not only did it garner the interest of a substantial audience, but its success feels as though it has helped take Viking culture mainstream. There’s been a marked rise in Vikingdom across pop-culture ever since its launch.
