As a child, Uhtred witnessed his father being killed and the Saxon army defeated by invading troops. Danish warlord Earl Ragnar captured Uhtred and raised him in a Danish camp alongside fellow captive Brida, a sharp-tongued girl. Years later, Uhtred is a valiant warrior who is dealt another tragic blow when his home is deliberately set on fire, killing his surrogate family, including Ragnar. Now exiled -- alone except for Brida by his side -- he vows to avenge Ragnar's death and reclaim his homeland. But, he must choose between his birth country and the people who raised him. If he is going to help birth a new nation and ultimately recapture his ancestral land he must walk dangerous path between both sides.

Alexander Dreymon stars as a young man who, as a boy from Northumbria, was snatched by the Danes and raised in Denmark. His torn loyalties add physiological depth to the beautifully shot action. Go to Full Review Andrew Billen The Times (UK) 01/03/2018
2/5
As with all such epics, however, I yearn for more ordinary domestic moments. Go to Full Review Sarah Hughes Guardian 03/20/2017
A strong opening episode, which set the scene for conflict to come and introduced us to both a host of intriguing new characters and the return of some very nasty enemies from Uhtred's past. Go to Full Review Alyssa Fikse and Jessica Toomer Syfy Wire 04/01/2019
Season 2 felt like a show really focused on relationships and how characters grow through them. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 04/04/2017
3/5
All in all, this wasn't quite the opener we might have hoped for, but it's got the plot boiling again. Things can only get better. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
