The Last Kingdom
England, 872. A Saxon man, raised by Danes, must choose a side and play his part in the birth of a nation, alongside the man who would become known as King Alfred the Great.
The world of television has seen countless historical dramas, but few have captured the raw intensity and complexity of Norse mythology like *Vikings*. Created by Michael Hirst, this riveting series launched on March 3, 2013, and has since amassed a following that spans across six seasons and ninety episodes. The first season introduces viewers to Ragnar Lothbrok, a fierce warrior played brilliantly by Travis Fimmel. As he embarks on daring raids into uncharted territories, audiences are treated to a blend of action, adventure, and drama that sets the stage for an unforgettable epic.
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 8th century Scandinavia, *Vikings* begins with Ragnar’s ambition to explore beyond the Eastern lands traditionally raided by his people. Instead of merely accepting tradition and its limitations, Ragnar dreams of new horizons filled with riches and glory. The character's relentless drive resonates deeply with viewers who appreciate narratives centered around defiance against societal norms. This theme is expertly woven throughout Season 1 as Ragnar assembles a crew willing to risk everything for their leader's vision—making it both inspiring and thrilling.
One cannot discuss *Vikings* without highlighting its exceptional cast. Alongside Fimmel's portrayal of Ragnar are standout performances from Katheryn Winnick as Lagertha—a skilled shieldmaiden and Ragnar’s wife—who provides strength and resilience in a male-dominated world. Clive Standen shines as Rollo, Ragnar's brother whose loyalty is continuously tested amid personal ambitions. The ensemble also includes Alexander Ludwig as Bjorn Lothbrok—Ragnar’s son destined for greatness—and Gustaf Skarsgård as Floki—the eccentric shipbuilder whose humor balances the show's darker moments.
