It's a rather good production. Effects work, story works well enough and is engaging. I am hooked that's for sure.
However, if there is one thing that bothers me, then it's Travis Fimmel.
First off, I have to say that I absolutely love him. He brings an intensity that is hard to match. As good as this is, he is extremely one dimensional. We have seen it the warcraft movie and raised by wolves. He basically always is Ragnar Lothbrok and it's extremely distracting. I truly hope that his character gets killed off asap because it's the one thing that, on a subjective level, has a negative impact on this TV series.
I have to praise the casting when it comes to the younger characters. They have done an excellent job there. The actors playing the younger versions of Valya and Tula are extremely well cast. This is on a "dark" level and needs to be praised.
This review is based on the first 4 episodes. It's definitely worth a watch, especially if you haven't seen any recent shows with Travis Fimmel in it.
