So, first of all, the German movie industry is nothing compared to Hollywood.
Many of my fellow countrymen even hate to watch movies or series in their own language, because they're not used to it. So please be a bit understanding, that not everything in this show is perfect and already "viking-like".
Barbarians is maybe the first show, that has the potential to excite even those people. Some scenes are a bit bad acting, but in general it was satisfying to finally see a series in German that was never seen before in this direction of movie making.
I'm tired of seeing only WWII movies or series, where Germans are being slaughtered cause they are "the bad guys". The history is, as you can see, so much more! And I'm glad the opportunity is given, that the younger German Teens finally learn, that there is much more than 33 - 45.
The series got me since ep. 1 and it was very thrilling to watch! But I think there were too many major deaths in the first episodes, I would've liked to see more of Ronald Zehrfeld as Berulf.
Give it a try and, with my description above, you won't be disappointed. I desperately hope for a season 2!
