The TV series in itself is ok, if you can get past the metrosexuel hipster playing Uhtred (The only comparison I can make would be Louis Spence playing Batman).
It's just really shit compared to the books, which to borrow a phrase from our colonial cousins, are utterly fucking badass.

I won't bother with the second season personally.
I actually enjoyed it, when I wasn't frothing at the mouth at the shit they left out or the complete miscasting of the main character. I thought Brisa was spot on though. I'm interested in who they'll get to play Finan and Steapa Snota.I won't bother with the second season personally.
Can you imagine how good this could have been if HBO had got hold of it?

That's probably the disappointing thing. It just looked a bit cheesy after watching Vikings with and the over the top production and stuff.

There's loads of book series that would make great tv series, but tv companies have fucked so many of them up, I'm not sure I want my favourite books making it on screen.
i never have time for tv but watched lost years ago and im off sick now and watching narcos and love it...anything similar to these?
If you've got Netflix and haven't seen Peaky Blinders, I can't recommend it enough.

Totally agree, I watched it after watching Vikings and it was a poor imitation, I probably wont bother with the second series. As Stony said the metrosexual playing Uhtred is shite especially when compared to Ragnar, it was chalk and cheese.

Well rack up Peaky Blinders, not going to hype it but just give you the advise I was given about it ie 'just give it a go.'

As far as the TV goes, Ragnar would chew Uhtred up and shit out the bones, before he'd even had his morning brew.

In the books he'd rip Ragnar's head off and use it to clean his arsehole.

The TV Uhtread would struggle to rip the top off his moisturising cream and his hair conditioner.

Sadly true. Have you read the books?

I'm not a huge book reader mate, takes too much time, but you have told me about the book Uhtred before and how the casting was shite.

Brisa is spot on, be interested to see how they develop her character. Don't read if you're going to be watching the series.
She ends up hating Uhtred, and becomes an absolute harridan. She hates him with a vengeance and even goes as far as castrating his son
