I liked it but it reminds me a bit of how I felt about Spartacus when it first came out - if it didn't have super hot women and blood and guts I wouldn't watch it. Spartacus got better though and I think this will too. Good start.
i watched the 2nd episode and still not that impressed yet.
still going too slow and not really anything interesting or exciting happening.
so they find the western lands, raid a small church, no fighting, just slaughter the priests and save some for slaves, then sail back...woop de doo.
the previews are misleading because after the 1st episode we saw some pretty cool fights, but that didn't happen this episode, so they must be just showing footage of future episodes to get people hyped to watch.
And they apparently share their wives like eskimos. And the laws regarding murder...its OK to kill someone as long as tell someone, but if you walk past two houses without telling someone, its deceitful and therefore wrong. The show supposedly isnt historically accurate , but the culture is still interesting.
It's not about murder but killing in self defense as the guy said was why he killed him before he was executed.
But because he hide that was why he was found guilty as not only was the evidence of it lacking but hiding that shows as a guilty act in itself and dishonorable it sounds like in the show.
Kind of like when someone kills another person today in self defense and simply hides from why they did it until the evidence shows it was him and gets arrested for it.
As for the sharing it was more of a way to test if he could be trusted and he failed.
But didnt he go to the third house and let someone know he killed the guy? He didn't hide, he said he thought the guy's family was in the immediate area and I guess he did it out of respect.
Oh, I was referring to the show's lead, and the shield maiden. They made that offer to the priest. I can't remember if it was in ep2 or ep3...I watched them one after the other so its all one big episode to me.
Hmm, I don't recall if he stopped at the third as I thought he was seen leaving the place but never stopped anywhere to confess so if anyone remembers give a shout out.
As for the third episode it has not aired yet on tv so I couldn't comment.
He stopped at the 3rd house because he thought the relatives lived in the first 2, and they would have killed him in retribution. However HE was killed because he had a claim to land the lord (earl?) wanted.But didnt he go to the third house and let someone know he killed the guy?

It's GoT Lite. They will probably move past using one ship after the Earl is either killed or dethroned, or both, which I expect will happen within the next few episodes.They need to send more then one ship if they plan on pillaging a town now.
I do wish they showed how much time passes as they seem to skip around days / weeks often.
Sure seemed like a Sons of Anarchy clone to me, but I didn't make it past the opening credits before I gave up on it. I absolutely detest having garbage shows on the History Channel, they degrade the occasional actual history show they occasionally air. Can't they have a separate channel for bogus science, alien fiction and redneck reality content?

I like it. Not sure if it's realistic .
We don't know much about Vikings, but we do know that they accomplished some amazing things.
I thought tonight's show was the best one yet and the next is potentially looking to be even better. Yes, it started out slow but most decent shows do. There's some shit going down now.
