    Just started watching this (episode 1 - a repeat show) and so far it's not bad.

    Anyone else watching?

    I watched the first episode last week. It was kind of slow IMO, but I think it will start to pick up. They are comparing this series some to Game Of Thrones.

    I watched the first episode....good, imo.

    It has some subtle historical, mythological references....I like that as opposed to the bludgeon over the head expositions.

    Just finished ep 5 last night. Really enjoy this one. Never would have pictured Gabriel Byrne as a viking. Great nemisis for Ragnar.

    So.. The Vikings were douchbags. I didn't need the history channel to tell me that.

    That's an hour I won't be wasting on a weekly basis.

    Jealous that he can't be considered "equal," now that Ragnar is Earl.

    sibling rivalry...at it's most.

    Also, the daughter and wife of the former Earl who was killed will try to get on the brother's good side. He could end up marrying the daughter and, together, the three of them could scheme some sort of mischievous and/or devious plans.

    I said above in my post that the brother and wife of The dead Earl will get together...she is truly a gold digger!:laugh:

    I thought you meant the wife of Ragnar (apparently he has hooked up with her before.)
