It's not the Viking. ...but it's okay a lot of nudity and sex along with death but i guess that's the time period i will watch anything once and even tho i don't love it I'm glad i saw all the episodes

So well written and shot. It took a bit to get used to the style but I love it. It is a beautiful love story but at the same time has all the gore and action you could want. Im amazed this show isnt crazy popular!! If youre a fan of Game of Thrones or Vikings you will enjoy this show because its pretty similar. I cannot stop watching it!

I watched this show years ago, and it honestly was one of my favorite TV shows, ever. Years has passed, and it's now 2020, and I was reminded of this TV show again recently. I don't have Starz or any app that allows me to watch this show, so I came to Google Play to see if it's available here. The cost was pricey for the first season, but I didn't care. I wanted to watch this show again. And it was just as good if not better than the first time I watched it. This show is EXTREMELY underrated.
