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. |

This is actually one of the shows that I look forward to now. Whether it's historical accurate or not, it's period accurate, and very entertaining.

I'm liking it. I agree that it start off slow but you could tell that they were building towards something.
I certainly wouldn't kick Lagertha out of my bed for spilling pickled herring. |

I found the last few episodes of the season to be pretty boring and uninteresting. It was really disappointing after a good start.

I would have much preferred to see more battling amongst the other countries with the pillaging and plundering. Not all these squirmishes amongst themselves.

And surely they'll get back to raiding soon. I guess there was a "season" for raiding. Maybe they'll hit it again. |
