A woman shows full frontal Nudity in front of a underage boy (non sexual)

Several instances of men raping women, and at least one of a woman raping a shackled male prisoner, are shown, sometimes with and sometimes without nudity.

Many episodes contain sex scenes with female nudity, often meant to demean the Viking women.

Much of the nudity is for humiliation.

Contains nudity & sex.

Rape is shown often throughout the series

Season 1 episode 4, A man is killed while urinating outside. (No nudity)

A lot of female nudity. Woman are shown full frontal- at times full pubic hairs visible. Close up on bare butts and bare breasts of females. Nothing left to the imagination when it comes to females in the show, but no genitalia is ever displayed.

Female full frontal nudity

Male and female nudity. No genitalia shown from either gender.

Bedroom scenes show moments before and after intercourse, but not the act itself. Steamy foreplay involves kissing, fondling, and one partner mounting the other; afterward they lie together in various stages of undress (men are shirtless, women's breasts are covered by a blanket). Sexy talk, as when a woman tells her husband, "I want to ride you like a bull."

In season one there is a scene where Rollo rapes a young slave. The rapes occur occasionally throughout the series.

Violence is present in most episodes.

The worst scene is the first Blood Eagle execution. Although you barely see anything of the act, the sound effects perfectly describe what is happening. The second Blood Eagle execution is extremely graphic and disgusting but it lacks the tension from the first one.

In many scenes you only see the bloody, gory aftermath.

A hand is chopped in half. Graphically shown.

There are frequent moderately violent scenes and occasional extreme violence, for example a man's lungs are cut out of his back and placed on his shoulders in a punishment ritual.

A man is tied to a pole. A woman approaches him, pulls a knife, and cuts off his penis. This is not shown but it is made clear what is going on.

There are a few scenes in which peoples heads are smashed, showing brains, twice with hammers, and one where only the aftermath is seen

Nothings to say about Violence & gore because the show describes how Vikings live.

Gratuitous and realistic. Bloody battles show close-up sword fights, stabbings, and agonizing death. Corporal punishment is carried out by beheading (in one scene, the victim's head is held up after death to the crowd's cheers) and a stoning gauntlet, among other varieties. Sexual assault and physical attacks are a constant threat to women and children as well.

During battles, raids, and assassinations throughout the series, people are beheaded (the bloody aftermath is shown), slashed, stabbed and shot with arrows, sometimes with bloody results.

Throughout the entire series there have been 4 F words. Twice in season 2, once in season 4 and once in season 6. However, the one in season 4 is in Old Norse so it's quite easy to miss.

In season 6, there is one very strong scene in which a character says the c word 4 times in succession.

Rarely "piss."

Profanity is sparingly used. "Bitch" is said once in Season One. A man is called "son of a whore" in season Two. A few uses of "piss".

Magic mushrooms are consumed on a few occasions, but this is easy to miss.

Vikings drink what's presumed to be ale or beer of some kind, and kids "of age" (which turns out to be 12) get to partake.

The Vikings (including twelve-year-old boys) drink ale on occasion.

The battle scenes can be intense, and much tension is present in some scenes. The main character and his older brother are both very aggressive and displays sometimes disturbing behaviour. There is a scary looking leper who works as the shaman of the vikings.

In the first two seasons there is a definitive tension between the Christian Priest and the Vikings religious beliefs. This causes some uncomfortable vibes in some situations. The battle between what one believes, what is tolerated, and what one may sacrifice (in terms of beliefs) is fairly intense in some episodes.

In season 1 a man occasionally has a vision of a grim reaper-like apparition of the pagan chief god Odin. A man has a dream about how he found his adolescent son murdered. Their bodies are shown.

Season 2 has a character who likes to carry with him the skull of his wife who was murdered by his enemies. Most of the other characters display open discomfort and are disturbed by this behaviour.

Strong depictions of sex (including 2 rape scenes) and violence, as well as some language and drinking in the extended version.
