In Season 1 of “Vikings,” Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) continues to be a famous Viking ruler and his reputation for being a great warrior continues to grow. As his fame grows so does the concern for him from his fellow brothers on the west coast of Norway.One of the main concerns about “Vikings: Valhalla season 2” is how much violence will be included. The show does not shy away from showing death and battle in their full glory. The series even turns gruesome when it comes to deaths. One of the main characters, Ivar the Boneless, kills his brother Sigurd, who was a renowned warrior, by cutting off his legs with a sword and throwing him into the sea. Some viewers do find the violence disturbing, but others have no issue with it as long as there are good acting and compelling storylines. If a viewer wants to fast-forward through battle scenes, it is possible to do so.
The main focus of the show is to follow Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking hero, and his sons as they take on the world. Ragnar is one of the most legendary rulers in Viking history and this series takes a different spin on events than others have. Instead of focusing on his time in battle or ruling at home, it focuses on his travels around Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The journey begins when Ragnar sets off to explore the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa in search of new opportunities. While there he meets lots of new people like Al-Mansur, an Arabic scholar who teaches him about Islam and tries to convert him.
