Tonight, the season 5 raid ends for HISTORY's Vikings, and we've got a tease of a pretty epic battle coming. If there is ONE thing the series does tremendously well, it's the fight scenes and large-scale battles Of course Michael Hirst and co do most things with Vikings tremendously well, so it should be expected that the "more[...]

Season 5 of HISTORY's Vikings is moving along at an impressive pace that reminds us of the time creator/writer Michael Hirst said the series was like a "grown-up Game of Thrones" We can't say we disagree with his comment, especially after season 5 episode 15, "Hell". If you haven't caught up on the backhalf of season 5, you may[...]
