Television series that are about barbarians , humans who are perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. The designation is usually applied as a generalization based on a popular stereotype ; barbarians can be members of any nation judged by some to be less civilized or orderly (such as a tribal society ) but may also be part of a certain "primitive" cultural group (such as nomads ) or social class (such as bandits ) both within and outside one's own nation. Alternatively, they may instead be admired and romanticised as noble savages ..
