Viking

Quite a lot of wrong data from people thinking this is the TV show huh? Anyways, I've had Viking on my watchlist for a while since I thought the trailer looked quite nice and given that it's a Russian production it would certainly be unique. And unique it was... as this was quite a huge production (6 years) centered around not much of a story and a lot of nonsense. To be fair... I hardly grasped the initial setup from the intro given the subtitles speed but subsequent scenes made it quite clear that this was mainly a background for battle sequences (alongside Vikings) which are not exactly all that good either. Vladimir as the hero of the story does little to carry this along and is often just seen failing at this job. After a certain, quite moronic, battle in support of Vladimir's Jesus-esque look I just stopped caring and switched to my bad movie goggles to enjoy the rest. So yes, the bad IMDB reviews are not just from stuck up Russians hating solely on the historical accuracy.
