Boy, what a letdown. More like "Knots Landing" than marauding Barbarians...
They trying to make Rollo and Ragnar the new J.R. and Bobby Ewing? When I see Vikings, I wanna see savage raids with lots of loot and blood, NOT how Ragnar impregnates some chick while his wife is at home handling a plague destroying their village.
The series started to go downhill when Ragnar killed the Earl. I don't think they realized just how popular the series would be.
