Much enjoyed the first four seasons of Vikings (original series). It sort of degenerated after that into a soap opera (well, maybe a Wagnerian soap opera), still good but not as good as it was at first.
I still remember the scene from (I believe) season 2, when Ragnar, his former wife Lagertha, Bjiorn, Rollo, and a few other stalwarts were leaving for a raid on England. Boarding their ships, hair blowing in a strong wind coming down the fjord with the bluest sky and waves I can ever remember seeing, all done with no dialogue but just music by Wardruna, was unforgettable. Best scene of the series.
