Set in the 9th century, when almost all of Britain was ruled by the Danes, the only kingdom left standing was Wessex. That is the predicament the main character, a Brit raised among the Vikings, finds himself in. It is a fantastic show that will appeal to both Vikings and Game of Thrones fans.

Despite being executive-produced by Charlize Theron and David Fincher, the show is unjustly underrated. It narrates the story of the emergence of criminal profiling in the 1970s, based on behavioral studies that took a long time to gain traction in law enforcement because of police conservatism and narrow-mindedness.
