I love 10% of this show, and loathe the rest. For most of the show, you could set it ahead or behind by 200 years and it wouldn't matter because it's mostly a story about people being (shitty) people. This person is sexing someone they're not supposed to be sexing. So naughty. A pretends to be allies with B, but is in cahoots with C. Rollo is jealous. This person tells a lie. That person has a scheme (close up shot of mustache twirling). It's Desperate Housewives level story telling with tits n ass fanservice.
When the show occasionally (and I think possibly accidentally) rises above banality, it's when Ragnar is doing the thing where he senses the tides of history, that unless some change happens, his people and their over proud and over conifident culture, are going to vanish like a firecracker. Understanding the significance of first the compass, and later of literacy, his skepticism but also fascination with a merciful monotheistic religion. Anyways, maybe I'm too harsh on the show, I haven't kept up since the 2nd invasion of Paris. Maybe it has gotten better. And this was a good scene.

I really like this show but it has too much drama & not enough pillaging. I wanna see the military stuff way more - invade England, France, Spain etc. Even stretch the truth & head into Germany etc. It's all pretty murky but Vikings spread right across Europe AFAIK, sailing up the rivers slapping everyone in the face with their big Nordic dicks.
