I like it, but sometimes it feels like the English is written, directed, and acted by some of my Russian buddies that barely speak English.

This is exactly how I feel hehe ^__^ I'll watch EP 2 later on today!

Well that trailer was awful. They've been smart enough to avoid dubstep in the actual series, right?

Was looking for this comment to make sure I didn't post the same. What a horrible trailer.

To add to it. It's hard to take the "historical" approach of a show seriously when they portray it like that. I have a friend who studies vikings as a passion/hobby, so I might ask him for his take on it.

I'm going to watch it, seems interesting.

dubstep in a trailer for vikings?

Vikings are heavy metal.

Loved the show.

Has become my new historic/action piece... since Spartacus has turned into a Porno..with blood shooting everywhere.

(literally..cant even watch it anymore... there is enough porn on the internet...i dont watch TV specifically for boobs, dicks, or vaginas. fuck that shows writer/directors for being sick as fuck...and thinking apparently the right balance = 60% sex, 30% action, 10% story.... Seasons 1-2 were soooooooooooooo good, 3 was pretty good too... this one is sooooooooooo terrible, literally its like watching bloody porn ffs)

Really enjoying the show so far. Was very happy + Show Spoiler +

when his wife roflstomped those vagabonds and sent them on their way... was going to be pissed if this turned into a sideplot mini-spartacus bs

Have ALWAYS wondered, especially as a literature student, why 0 history/mythology is read/discussed in school from Europe/Norse, all we ever read and talk about are the Greeks... but ive read pretty much all of it, and have always wanted to learn more about Norse mythology (i mean pretty much everyone studies beowulf/Canterbury Tales... but thats about as much as anyone talks about until Shakespeare)

So I am enjoying getting to watch it, especially since its on the History channel, and accuracy is actually a big part of the project.

also i dont have to fast forward through 10 minute sex scenes every other 10 mins.

It's like you looked inside my brain.......

Spoiler for anyone curious about the actual history of Canute:
+ Show Spoiler +

He conquers England and the Anglo-Saxons and becomes the King of England, Denmark and Sweden. Within 3 decades his house loses England to the Normans in 1066. (Normans were also Vikings who were given land by the King of France).

I think Ragnar brother will become a big problem, he's too impulsive and do whatever the fuck he wants, besides he's in love with Ragnar's wife..

I thought Spartacus was always something like soft core porn. I mean, after a few episodes I really only watched it because Lucy Lawless is unbelievably attractive.

Anyway, I saw a preview for this a few days ago and it looks pretty damn good. I'll have to check it out.

I haven’t seen Tudors nor Camelot but it’s probably safe to assume this is another soap opera. The quality is all over the place. So far I like it more than the start of Spartacus: Blood and Sand (which I had to drop after the first season) but it comes nowhere near close Game of Thrones, let alone The Rome.
