While this is essentially the popcorn version of a quality serialized drama -- with more overt appeal to men than most -- Vikings is the sort of nifty endeavor that can give the idea of shamelessly marauding in search of loot a good name.
Vikings remains at the top of its bloody game, with Fimmel still commanding the role he was born to play in a series that fully immerses itself in a world of wonder and plunder.
