The show was pretty good. Although I found it disappointing that in 100 years absolutely nothing had changed in the Viking culture with the exception of some Vikings being Christian. There was no evidence of any technological advancement in the 100 year period. You could have left out the reference to the years passed and just said these are the Vikings next door at the same period of Ragnar and Bjorn. However, it was good enough for me to follow a little longer to see how the characters develop. Also, they were all a little too pretty to be considered these battle hardened warriors.
