No backstory for any of the characters leading me to a eh about the wooden acting deaths and other than them actually saying the connection between people there is no guessing who loves/hate/indifferent about one another. if I hear one more battle strategy with warrior hissy hits(the whole plot) I will give on watching farther. They just have middle ages battle, squabble, attempt at emotional speech, battle, repeat emotional speech, repeat. Other then the Vikings creating surf boards, nothing is interesting.
