How to get through Vikings faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 1 hour, 51 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 71.2 hours; at 1.5× it's 59.3 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
