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.

What night is it on?

I'm not sure. I only watch it on demand.

Sunday nights at 9 CST. Saturday they aired all 5 previous episodes. I dvr'd and by the 3rd episode, I was hooked. I would suggest going to the history channel website and viewing the previous episodes. Episode 6 aired this past Sunday.

I am in on this. Finally DVRd all the shows. I like it quite a bit.

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

Kind of what I was thinking. However, I will DVR the next season. It's earned a little more time.

The seemed to get rid of some of the more interesting characters there.

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

I don't know. The whole Ragnar v Rolo thing can be done well.

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

Let's just say I'm fucking pissed they've gone from information to info-tainment...
