The show is actually very historically inaccurate - Ragnar Lothbrok didn't attack Lindisfarne, they had been sailing the North Sea since Roman times, Rollo isn't even a Scandinavian name, that sort of thing - but as far as the feel of the show, the look of the villages and the buildings, and the general world view, it's doing all right.
As a show, I love it. Floki especially is a brilliant character - giggling as he murders people in cold blood. It started a little slowly, but it's appointment TV for me now.
