Micheal Hurst should be convicted for crimes against history. I know this show was made purely for entertainment purposes. But considering its set during one of the most intresting periods in the history of the British isles I expected just a little hard fact. But no.
We instead get the same badly written characters that ruined the last 3 seasons of Vikings and the box ticking diversity casting that is insulting to anyone with a small amount of knowledge about the period and even intelligent persons who know practically nothing.. Dark skinned Viking warrior queens with New Zealand accent...? Sorry but it's laughable.
I will watch more episodes but I hold out little hope. If you really want to know what really happened during that period read some History books or even Helen Holick's book the A Hollow Crown and Harold the king. Or Alternatively some of Bernard Cornwell's who like Holick can inter weave hard historical fact with fiction.
