Vikings

We have autumn now: the evenings seem to last forever and those who work or study can barely see the daylight. What can we do about it? The answer is simple: nothing. But we can use these long evenings to discover some new TV series. And I have another one to recommend you! It's called Vikings and as you can imagine, it's about vikings. No surprise here! It's an Irish-Canadian historical drama created for the TV channel History. It is inspired by the sagas of Ragnar Lothbrok, a great scandinavian heroe. In the serie we can watch Ragnar's vicissitudes which lead him from a simple farmer to a succesful earl who organises first raids to the west. I'm not a history expert, but I appreciate that the serie tells us something about a scandinavian way of life, their traditions, their mithology or a women's position in society (we can see Ragnar's wife, Lagherta, who is a brave shieldsmaiden who fights as well as men). In short, Vikings is worth seeing and I think it's a good way to get to know a little bit about the world.
