No similar at all. It's pretty to look at a lot of the time. That's about the only similarity.
As the the person above who compared GoT to Spartacus, to this show.... Has clearly not seen any of them past the first episode, or is a very dense person. They're wildly different shows in theme, acting, atmosphere, story and directing.
I can give you that Spartacus and Game of Thrones has lots of tits, dicks, and asses And that both Spartacus and Vikings are based on history far in the past, and all three of them have murder, betrayal and corruption. That's about where the similarities die though.

Hmm... it's really not the same thing. I think GoT is better but I still like Vikings in a more relaxed way. If you want a quick comparison: -Both series are well filmed and have good visuals (costumes, scenes etc). -Obviously Vikings as history roots while GoT is 100% fantasy. -No magic in Viking, some in GoT. Note that the mythology of the vikings is sometimes represented by "visions", giving the series a slight mystical feeling. -Vikings story is quite simple to follow, not many characters and they have fairly simple relations between them, there is only one main plot. GoT as so many characters that it can be pretty hard to follow who all of them are, there are as a result many plots at the same time. -Vikings is about Ragnar Lodbrok a legendary viking that raided England in late 8th century while GoT is about feudal "games" and magic. -If you accept Ragnar's constant arrogance smile as a character feature rather than uni-dimensional acting, both show have decent acting no problem there. -Vikings dialogue are unequal, some are really cheesy while some are good. GoT dialogues are in my opinion excellent. -Viking has more action than GoT and the fighting scenes are decent. -Viking has a less sex/nude scenes than GoT (very few).
That's about it.

In one post you managed to both insult people and look like some dumb elitist/hipster, congratulations.

Wow really ? I found her really unattractive, Lagherta on another hand O.O <3 Yeah, upcoming war is gonna be great, it was only a matter of time before Rollo betrays Ragnar.. I wonder what Ragnar will do with his new born son (if it's a son), will he take him with him ? And what about the princess, etc.. ?

I wouldn't be 100% sure that Rollo is betraying Ragnar. Maybe they planned it.
