I love this show. So far there's only 3 episodes, but they've all be great. Everyone has adorable accents, Ragnar and his wife are the cutest thing and she is so damn badass.

It is actually not bad.. Wonder of wonders. Not badly acted and it even stays, for the most part true to history. The attack on the monestary was as accounts stated. Though the political intrigue, such as it is, is taken with some poetic license.

Though the justice system is accurate and the scene where the boy is killed to protect the Jarls stash of treasure is actually a documented case of at least one site that I have read about.

Several other small, but equally important parts of Norse culture are in included in the show. Giving the entire series a sense of authenticity. Over all I would say it is a good series and hope that it continues to stay true to the spirit of the Norsemen and what it meant to go a Viking in the 8th or 9th century.
