I have heard that a few episodes of this last season of “Vikings” take place during Euphemius’ rebellion. Do you know if they are worth waching?
They have been recommended to me. But it depends if you are into ‘Vikings’ the show. I struggled to get into it in Season 1 but I saw clips of the Sicily plot and it looked interesting.
