This show is awesome. It's a Norwegian show based on Norse mythology of Thor and Giants but takes place in the real world today.
The mom and Saxa are hot as fuck!
It's an awesome way to depict super heroes and villains without stupid colorful costumes.

Never heard of it. Thanks for the heads up.
Loved the evolution of Thor!
I know the mom didn’t have a massive ass but she was damn sexy.
We mean the 2020 series—not the 2013 movie. Although that was fun too.
The mom and .. are hot as fuck!
Just started watching. Disappointed there aren’t 8 seasons out so I can get into a serious binge
SEASON 2 RAGNAROK!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eg64lRzWAAAXyDj?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)
Will be released in 2021
Season 2 is up on Netflix... looks like Thor beefed up a bit for the coming battles; I wonder who his trainer is? Season 1 was a nice interpretation of the mythology... I hope season 2 can keep the magic going.
There were Negroes is ancient Scandinavia? ???SEASON 2 RAGNAROK!

Will watch! Thanks BaybyGBR!
Just finished Season 2. Still loving the evolution of Ragnarok, but why are the seasons so short? Barely 6-7 episodes per season is not enough! :(
The casting of this show is a big part of why it works. It is hard to take your eyes off Saxa and Gry; the guy playing Laurits is as good a Loki as what we see in the MCU. The gay/bi/trans vibes in the show seem both necessary (Laurits giving birth to the Midgard Serpent) and gratuitous (Iman seducing the Principal). The pacing of this show and the building of tension far surpasses the MCU Thor films for entertainment value.
This is a perfect example of less is more. No big budgets... no huge special effects... no crazy costumes... just good scripts... set in the "real world." The leading characters are discovering their narratives at the same time the viewer is. Good stuff!
Bay likey!
ALSO Bay!
Did you notice Thor's muscular development from Season 1 to 2???
What an improvement!
Of course! I mentioned it in a previous post! Bay likey! ;D
BB related, Magne bulks up in Season 2.
What Tier is Thor in Season 2?
And how big will he become in Season 3 you think?
He has serious potential but he is not in any tier right now. Needs a lot more food... more time in the oven... and lots more injections. This is actually a great acting role for a young body builder who is willing to bulk up as the seasons progress. :D
Would be great if he added 20kg per Season! :D
Maybe even growing a beard for Season 3
Isn't this subtitled or dubbed from some weird foreign language? That's always too distracting to me (which is sad because I tend to like this kinda stuff)

They speak Norwegian but it is subtitled so you can understand without problem.

True story... Your review of the series is what made me start watching it yesterday. I have 3 episodes left to finish the second season.
"1"
Sounds like you’ve been binge watching?. You like? How do you think this compares to the Thor films?
They speak Norwegian but it is subtitled so you can understand without problem.
I thought the length (six episodes) was fine. Not sure what they would fill another four episodes with.
I asked this in the wrong thread...So is this series a bunch of PCBS or not? If it is filled with divershitty I want NOTHING to do with it even if the acting is good. I also am not a fan of gratuitous sex . Leave that to the imagination, not to the screen. I know people engage in sexual relations, I don't need to witness on the screen. FFS, I am not controlled by my hormones. The series "Penny Dreadful" was filled with sex and I found myself just fast forwarding through that crap. WTF? Are people so debased that they live only to be voyeurs of the worst kind? FTN.
What's left of 'em! LOL! So then, is it free of turd world bullshit or not? Norse gods and goddesses were Nordic not black, yellow, red, brown, purple, green (Sorry Kermit) they were N O R D I C. If not maybe I can get hired on to play a crippled caucasion version of Crippled White Sambo for divershitty's sake? FTN.
Shit, I've got more films on hand than HBOMax! I'm home all week for tests and the like and going bonkers!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled and dignified Getbig thread decorum. ;D
It's not a diverse show. There's maybe 2-3 people of color in the entire series, but they're not lead characters for the most part. Even so, the people of color do a GREAT job. I think one is from Zimbabwe and another is actually Norwegian.
The show is very NORDIC. The main actors are all Norwegian with the exception of 1 that is from Iceland (still Nordic). If you go through the cast of the show, 99% are Norwegian. I really enjoy shows like this, because they give you a fresh group of faces/actors that aren't gift wrapped from Hollywood. I also enjoy other shows with a dystopian feel to them that take place in places like Germany.

You can also turn on the English audio track so you hear everything in English... but if Never1 finds all that too distracting then maybe this isn’t the show for him.

Watched first episode. It's like a goddamn Ikea
Yes there are some woke-ish sub-sub-elements but it’s not a central component of the show. E.g. the Loki kid is bi or something but they don’t make a big deal about it.I thought it was nice when that mentioned Ran outed his daughter by
Would pound out Ran.
Wrapped up season 2. This show just leaves me wanting more. 10 episodes? Fuck that. Give me 20.

Binge watched Season 2 last night.
Ran looks a lot like my Mom. I sent her an email and asked her when she learned to speak Norwegian ?
LOL
Tell your mom I said, "Helloooooooo...Betty!"
Fear not! She is probably too young and too smart for such as I. ;D
My Mom is awesome. She is a little bit “softer” looking than Ran. My guess is that they have applied Ran’s makeup to make her jawline more pronounced and give her a fiercer look.
My Mom has taken up downhill mountain biking. Apparently you take a ski lift to the top of a hill and mountain bike down wearing a helmet and padding.
I guess it could be worse ?
Your mom must be fearless. I've done downhill mountain biking and I saw my life flash before my eyes, lol.
I have only seen pictures of her doing it. I have never tried it myself. She lives in Europe near the mountains, but I’m guessing she does it on smaller hills ?
She has padded gear that makes her look like Robocop.
Watched season 2.
The continuous woke-ism and gender bending get obnoxious.
I like this show.
Tough question, Saxa or Ran?
Word is that Season 3 is on the way… and it will be the final season. Not sure on the release date so stay tuned. Meanwhile if you need an immediate fix there is a movie on Amazon Prime called Mortal that offers another take on the mythology.

Good news!!
Btw: Do you guys watch these dubbed in English or with original voices and subtitles?

Scale of 1-100, what do you give it?

I watched it and it was enjoyable enough to give it a 75.
3rd option. Dubbed in English and subtitles ;D

As a fan of the genre, I am the target audience and inclined to like them. That said, I think Mortal fell short. All the ingredients were there but the script disappointed. The budget was there… sets, costumes, special effects, editing, and production design were all passable. I liked that it wasn’t a star vehicle and all the actors were new faces to me… but the script ended up going off a cliff in the last 20 minutes… :'(
I’d give it a 5/10.
By contrast Ragnarock I’d give a 9/10
Season 3 is out now, any getbiggers watching? I started over at Season 1 since it had been a couple years and I forgot what was going on.

Saw that its out and going to watch it.
I like to watch it with original language and subs rather than lip syched to english. Looks too wierd.
Season 3 was a disappointment, especially the Ending!

Yeah, shitty ending. Made no sense.

What didn’t make sense? He was a paranoid schizophrenic and made up the whole Thor story in his head. The guy with the patch he thought of as Odin. He looked at the rich family as enemies and himself as the hero that stops them.
On another note. I want to make a dozen kids with Saxa.
