I haven't seen any discussion on this, but I would expect that the crowds who are super into Nordic history would love a show that is all about that world.

Yeah it seems to have some fans over on a white nationalist forum.

What do conservatives (which are not the same as alt-right mind you) have to do with Vikings?

It's more the old than the alt right that is known for having a viking fetish (and weirdos like Varg Vikernes, who doesn't really belong to the so called alt right). Those from the alt right rather look up to people like Prince Eugene or King Jan III Sobieski. I'm not really watching this series myself anymore (basically just the 1st season), but I guess one scene in the series where a main character (played by an older brother of Pennywise) meets some Muslims and finds them so fascinating that he doesn't want to attack them, is not that popular among people from the alt right.

They'd be better off watching The Long Ships.  |

I’m curious what religious people think of the show.
I’m only part-way through season 3 at the moment, but the main characters mention Odin, Thor, etc. a lot.
