I hope one day we will get a proper norse themed show
is Rome better or it's also on the same RPG game level of bullshit?
>mfw everything wants to be GoT

I fucking wish this show wanted to be GOT because then we would get some proper story it's not like blood feuds weren't a thing in norse society but no it's just
>HURR WE GO TO DA VILLAGE WITH MUH BITCH AND THERE IS 30 SOLDIERS AND WE ARE UNHARMED AND WE WON AND ODIN XDD
it's Amon Amarth: The Show
>>465800
>I hope one day we will get a proper norse themed show

Rome is actually regarded settingwise as one of the best recreations of ancient rome.
The problem is the storyline is quite bullshit.

Rome is good, but the story is slow.

FUCK OFF WITH THE VIKINGS

Lagertha is from the actual story, not made up for the show.

>>466042
if by actual story you mean saga then yeah
keep in mid there is also saga about a witch that had army of monsters and the undead (that shit should actually become a show as well)
>>466076
I meant the saga, yeah. I'm sceptical as to whether or not Ragnar even existed in real life.
>keep in mid there is also saga about a witch that had army of monsters and the undead (that shit should actually become a show as well)
I'd love if some of the sagas were made into programmes.
I don't even mind all of the shitty costumes and grimdark shit. I was pretty butthurt about the history though.
>>466076
to be honest a tv series that accurately told the sagas would be interesting. Some of them were good pieces of literature and worthy of more than meme-level studying and understanding given the wider impact they have on the mainstream what with the TV show and the Thor films
>>465800
It's not meant to be historically accurate. It's just a show to cash-in on the whole viking fad.
