The scenes which have been blurred depict nudity, violence, and to everyone’s shock, meat too at times! Netflix has, however, not responded to such reports about the scenes being censored.

As per reports, two extended cuts have been made in Vikings one of which is nudity and gory violence that has been featured in some of its episodes. Another cut was being made when the series found its way for broadcasting on the History channel. However, to add to this, further extensive cuts have been made on the censored version of the popular series that is now available for the Netflix users in India. Many have complained about the same as per multiple media reports.

For the unversed, this is the second time that Netflix has released a censored show in the country.
