Vikings Assemble
If you were a member of any society or culture that wasn’t from Scandinavia, this sight would be the stuff of your nightmares. Historically, one of the things that made the Vikings so successful was their cavalier attitude towards conventional war ethics. To put it another way, they had no scruples about undertaking actions that other invading forces wouldn’t.
Ragnar proved his mercilessness early on, eventually eliminating his leader and seizing power. Here, he leads his force into battle in season one, with his wife Lagertha at his side. The series is known for its graphic depiction of violence and doesn’t hesitate to kill major characters in combat.
