Guys this show is actually pretty good

It is. I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality. Is it still only one season?

There's 2 seasons now. In my opinion season 2 is even better than the first, although based Alfred's role is mitigated to just being a vehicle for exposition

series 2 is nearing its end on the bbc at the mo

It is, but a Warlord Chronicles show would be even better.

It's weird, right?
Looked like just "not vikings" but it ended up being great. Then the trailer for season 2 looked shit, but season 2 is good.

Fucking bizarre.
Can't decide if I like or hate the protag.

Ootredd is a bit of a wilful shit but he's also a canny shit.
I find that I like him more in the second season than I did in the first.

What I got was an actually interesting depiction of an historical period, well acted too. Five minutes in and I already knew dis gon be good.

Just glad they didn't go "MUH WOMYN FIGHTERS" and also highlighted that while Norse faggots aren't really good at battles and prolonged periods of war, they were a force to be reckoned with if unprepared.

I like it in terms of the story and the characters and the acting but holy FUCK it looks awful.

I've seen stage productions with better costuming than this. It genuinely makes me want to vomit.

Aside from some Danes wearing special snowflake armours, what's the issue?

I found that all the English armours/outfits are great
