- Synopsis:
Muster your courage for a second riveting journey into the savage world of Vikings. Season Two follows the ongoing fortunes of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), the Norse warrior who has now become a respected leader on and off the battleground. But more power brings an onslaught of deadly threats and impossible choices. As he prepares to cross swords with his own brother Rollo (Clive Standen), Ragnar is torn between his wife Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and his lover Princess Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland)...with his son, Bjorn (Nathan O'Toole), now a young man and fierce fighter, caught in the middle. All the while, Ragnar boldly invades the kingdom of England, home to vast treasures and a treacherous king who could pose the ultimate threat. - Actors:

Violent Viking Era Box-Set Series - Vikings: Series 2 review by PV
If you have seen the series Britannia, then this is way superior. I cannot believe it is all based on fact (pretty Viking maidens single-handedly fighting off scores of enemies...yeah right), but Britannia was so full of fake history you could almost call it science fiction - there is basis in fact here at least, as 8th Century AD Vikings pillage (though raping kept to a minimum no doubt to pander to modern pc sensibilities).
Some interesting characters in Floki and Athelstan especially, as the various clans and tribes are kept busy raiding and stealing and slaughtering each other.
It can be hard to differentiate characters and tell the leaders apart, so best watched in quick succession do viewers do not forget who is who.
Enjoyable stuff. But the 1950s VIKINGS movie which made Kirk Douglas a fortune and gave a break to Stanley Kubrick is probably more enjoyable as a short fix.
