The creators lack to put together little details which are the most important aspects of any show. I lost interest in the first season itself. When they are returning from the 2nd battle, rangnar asks his wife where is knut, i mean it's sudden, he doesn't even look around for all the men. Any army they fight against acts like a weak bunch of common citizens who are meant to lose. There is no order, nothing! Ragnar is not found guilty even then the Earl sends men to attack him and his family and there is no outrage. And it looks like there are just a couple of people in the whole town. It just lacks in basics.
