spacepirateiago The show just got worse and worse. I only managed to get through season 1. I hated the main character. He was a constant idiot or mary sue. He falls in love at first sight then treats the women like garbage. There is never the sense of an emotional connection. The saddest part of this whole series is that everyone, EVERY OTHER character was entertaining and worth watching. They are the only reason I stayed on until the end of season 1. As for the sex scenes, they were wholly unnecessary. I'm not being prudish. Watch game of thrones and you will see that every sex scene isn't just there for cheese cake factor, but informs about the plot or a character. Taking away those scenes actually weakens the story. The scenes in this series added nothing to the plot or character, and if you removed them nothing in the scene would be changed.Skip this.

jmariani-69084 I absolutely love this TV series. What rip-roaring entertainment! No, it's not following the books exactly, which bothers a lot of people, but it's not bothering me (I've read all ten books) because they are two entirely different forms of entertainment. The TV series is well written, acted, produced and filmed. Both Uhtred and Alfred are very interesting characters and the TV series does an excellent job of depicting their personalities and how/why their relationship develops, as well as depicting the personalities and relationships among the other main characters. For the action-lover, the fights and battle scenes are terrific and it is fascinating to watch Uhtred develop his strategies. If I have any complaint to make about the TV show it is that they are cramming too much into each season. Another episode or two per season would have been great. I'm also not keen on some of the casting, the most disappointing being the character Gisela. Peri and Alexander have zero on-screen chemistry and I don't like the way her character has been written, but it's not something that ruins the series. The books are a good read, the TV show, while making a few missteps (nothing serious), is great fun to watch and I enjoy each for what they are.

miromoman The series revive the founding myth of England, with the Viking and the Anglo-Saxon invaders fighting for hegemony, while the native Britons make an anecdotal and caricaturesque appearance.In spite of the childish and unlikely nature of the ensemble (characters, script, dialogues, psychology, politics, battles, acting and all the rest), the show manages to remain quite entertaining.

leah77100 Absolutely love this show and so hope Netflix picks it up for Season 3!!!!!!! I don't think I could ever get tired of watching this show!!!!!!!
