  • Vikings — Season One

    After a binge view­ing ses­sion while I was home sick dur­ing Watchathon (hon­est!), His­to­ry Chan­nel’s new show, Vikings, became one of my favorite shows on TV. The first sea­son just end­ed, but if you’re look­ing for Sons of Anar­chy set in the Dark Ages, then this is the show for you.
