Must be that TV series - quite a boost for national pride.

Vikings, the TV series, has nothing to do with Iceland.
So it has not boosted our national pride. The thing is that the 'Ásatrúarfélagið' has always been quite visible over here. I've always seen it as a "rebel"-religion over here.
EDIT: after writing this I realize your comment was probably sarcastic :)

Vikings [1]. I haven't watched it, heard mixed reviews from friends. Critics seem to like it though, and it gets good viewership numbers.

It's rather historically accurate (though it's build on a legendary figure[1]), and is a good cool-down show for you and your loved one, when Game of Thrones ends since it's in a similar universe. I'd definitely recommend it. If nothing else, I feel they capture the mindset well, speaking as a Dane.
