Not necessarily historically accurate...
Who would win a sword fight? My money's on Landry...
Vikings
Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) is an ambitious viking who simply wants to improve his life by almost any means. This six season show follows his and his families exploits as they travel the world to meet, kill and enslave all sorts of people.
While it might start off a bit slow, this certainly becomes a very fascinating (and bloody) show to watch with some cool battle sequences and interesting insights into Viking life. As long as you don't look for plot holes or historical inaccuracies, you will probably enjoy this series. I give it three blood eagles out of five.
Knightfall
This two season drama focuses on the Knights Templar and their quest to retrieve the Holy Grail amidst traitors, cover ups and later on from the monarchy itself. While there are actually a few decent twists in the plot, it's mostly too slow especially in the first season which involves a lot of investigation and intrigue.
The best parts are the sword fights though, and they capitalized on the action for the second season which is much better pacing wise. Adding Mark Hamill to the roster helps too. Still not to a level I'd recommend, but if you've run out of things to watch you might enjoy this. I give it two pyres out of five.
