Medieval epic, culture, swords, blood. There are many stories with a Norse background, between Vikings and the people who came into contact with them, so if Hellblade 2 isn’t enough for you , here are five themed TV series that you really should see.
Let’s obviously start with Vikings , without a doubt THE TV series when it comes to Vikings. 6 seasons, iconic characters, enormous success with audiences and critics. In short, an absolute must for all lovers of Norse stories.
Let’s move on to an anime instead because Vinland Saga is exactly what you need . Based on the work of Makoto Yukimura, it will take you right into that world of violence and blood, for a splendid anime edited by Wit Studio.
If instead you want a bit of contamination here is The Last Kingdom , in this case from the point of view of England which at the end of the 9th Century AD was continually attacked by the Vikings through their incursions. Based on the novels written by Bernard Cornwell.
Let’s change the genre but not the setting: Norsemen, a Norwegian comedy TV series that tells the everyday problems of the Vikings. Imagine a sort of parody of Vikings produced and shot directly in Norway, more than that.
We close with The Last Journey of the Vikings , a docuseries that tells the story of the end of the Viking era and their abandonment of Denmark, to discover a Norse historical period that is usually much less told.
If instead you want something shorter, here are 5 films about Vikings to accompany Hellblade 2 and to make sure you don’t miss anything if you haven’t read it yet, we leave you our review of Hellblade 2 .
