If you are bored and missing GOT, check out Vikings on Prime.

Similar in a lot of ways and a decent story. Six seasons of it as well.

Truly impaired.

Alternatively, I'd like to recommend The Expanse on Prime. Basically GoT in space, the books were written by GRRM's assistants. They'll be finishing the series this year as well so there shouldn't be the problem with a weka ending that GoT had, if it's allowed to run to completion.

Sorry bud. I'm sure she was just as lovely as Vikings Judith.

I quite like Lagertha

We've just started watching Westworld. It's pretty good so far.

Lagertha is hot. Ragner downgraded.

I still have the last 2 seasons to watch. The main thing i've learnt so far is that Bjorn has poor taste in women.

We've all been there though.

Vikings is indeed cracking TV.

I’d also like the put forward The Last Kingdom on Netflix.

Started watching Vikings years ago tgen.lost it when I reduced my sky deal as it was part of the documentary package. I have it back again now and will catch up.

I have just finished watching the second series of Norsemen on Netficks. Its a subtle comedy based on Vikings and also an element of GOT. Has vikings questioning why they are so violent and the one who cant go on raids as his wife gives him a hard time when he gets home and has been involved with slaughter and rape. Its been done really well, not like the american type of film parodies.

Marco Polo is also very good. Based on tge Mongols and Kublai Khan era. Only fault is the insistance of film makers having blind men who are awesome at martial arts.

Agreed - although it went off the rails a bit in one of the later series it was excellent viewing.

Fir Breaking Bad fans missing out on better call saul, I can heartily recommend Ozark.... and for la reina del sol fans there is el dragon.... both on netflix

It’s a decent watch. Completely takes liberties with history though.

I’ve watched every season now and the quality doesn’t dip imo.

Bumped this thread just to say a huge thanks to J2 and everyone else who recommended Vikings. Just finished Season 6 Part 1 and can't wait for Part 2 to be released. Compelling viewing and certainly helped my wife and me to get through the lockdown on the right side of sanity!

About to begin the Last Kingdom...

Vikings is fun- but we have kinda given up on it. Not sure how many series we have left, but it feels like it has run out of steam...

Ozark is just brilliant. Anyone who liked Sons of Anarchy I recommend Mayans on the Beeb. From the same stable as SOA with a few old Sons characters in it too...not as good as Sons but decent enough.

It did languish a bit after Ragnor went off the rails (can't remember which season), but it came back with a vengeance with Ivor. I won't say any more for fear of spoiling for you, but do stick with it.

My wife and I felt deflated when we finished the last episode, which I think speaks volumes.

Seen plenty of Ivor and Lagether and Bjorn... Seen plenty of Iceland too. All got a bit grim and tedious.

Yes, most of the Iceland was dull. You must be on, or at least close, to season 6? What I will say is that the build up to the final episode was much more entertaining.

I think they struggled to maintain the charm and plot development after the rise of Ragnor (I much preferred the Wessex and Franco scenes). But, what I will say is that the story has been left finely-poised.

Last time I spoke to him on here was the first week or so I returned to the site, he was talking about being a “professional gambler” while also mentioning betting on Belarusian football and refusing to sign on for Job Seekers, although he was cross he didn’t qualify for the self employed help scheme.

I hope he’s getting by okay.
