This show is a pure work of art. From season one, episode one this show has been on point and never once dragged on. Each character played by different actors and actresses all bring passion and depth to the show. They are all incredibly talented and there is not enough credit for this masterpiece. In season 2 where Uthred is a slave, Alexander Dreymon's acting is remarkable. I would compare this show even better than Game of Thrones. The cinematography, the costumes and even down to the tiny details are all perfection. This should be turned into a movie because that is what it feels like watching this show it is just that good. Bravo to all involved it really makes you feel like you are there.
