John Doyle Globe and Mail 02/25/2021
A cross between The Office and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it's absurdist, occasionally gross and beautifully original. Go to Full Review Dan Gentile San Francisco Chronicle 07/20/2020
Entertainment that's not rooted in some sense of reality just doesn't hold my attention, but I'm happy to travel to 8th century Norway if the characters will debate the fashion sensibilities of horned helmets. Go to Full Review Julia Raeside Guardian 09/22/2017
If you are left uncharmed by Norsemen you are both heartless and immune to their heartily irreverent approach to situation comedy. Lighten up and let the men in plaits beguile you into stupid, helpless giggles. Go to Full Review Mark Dolan Common Sense Media 11/27/2018
4/5
Violent, raunchy Viking comedy is a hilarious sendup of GOT. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider 01/31/2018
... disarmingly, gut-bustlingly funny. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel K Jan 5 Not very impressed. It s slow moving and there are no stakes. There is no threat or consequence and the jokes are predictable and get old very quickly See more Daniel J 12/25/2024 One of the best comedies in recent years. See more Mark W 11/24/2024 Brilliant, moving and very funny. And maintains a very high standard thrpught the seasons. Absolutely worth a watch. See more David Anderson @gregt6 07/15/2024 Hidden gem. Satirical comedy not for everyone. Americans probably wouldn't get the humour. See more hila r 11/29/2023 They made vikings a comedy!! Love it! See more Mary F 07/09/2023 It was a lot of fun.
