I’ve just begun watching the just-past-its-expiration-date series Vikings, and I’m loving it. I knew I would, since I am a history buff and have gorged previously on shows like The Last Kingdom, Versailles, and just about any other ‘some dude conquers some kingdom’ show you can name. That being the case, I am eating up the delicious scenery, semi-historically-accurate recreation of Viking lifestyles, and the mostly quite stylish acting.
However, there is one aspect of the show I do not appreciate, something that features too strongly in many shows like this one: the cool girl.
