I just finished season 2. It is really good.
Initially, that monologue at the beginning is really bad IMO. That I am Uhtred son of Uhtred crap really doesn't follow the tone and nuance written into the show. That and he does a bad job of reading it trying to sound tough. It took me awhile, but if you watch the show while ignoring it, the show is really good. It's unfortunate that it takes me so far out of the show.
Back to the show, the action is really good. They spent some real money on it and it shows.
The plot was solid. The characters were fleshed out pretty well. I cared about the characters and the story. Beocca's story line in particular was well done. When they returned to camp and he was looking for Uhtred's sister was goddamned compelling television.
Watch it if you haven't and you are into medieval/viking stuff.
