Seen both.
Both held my attention really well but I think from the second half of season 4 onwards of Vikings was a bit thin on content.
GOT on balance, as the story lines are stronger. |

Come on, you can't really compare when one has a production budget equivalent to the national debt with a narrative to match and the other is having to rely on extended family to keep the story going. Both very good, but in different ways.
Would a fairer comparison be GoT to LotR? Vikings to The Last Kingdom? Just a thought.. |

I'd still say GoT in a comparison with LOTR. I hate that they messed about with the storyline for LOTR. I know they have for GoT, but I've not read the books so it doesn't bother me.
And don't get me started on The Hobbit films! |

I think a bit of storyline tinkering is inevitable when translating a story from book to film. They're different mediums and allow stories to develop in different ways. The bigger the story, the greater the tinkering required.
As for the hobbit films, aren't they short stories anyway?! |
