+1. I think the show's producers have achieved a balance between entertainment and historical fact. Let's face it, for the Average Joe, life really sucked back in those days. Famine, pestilence, constant wars, infant mortality @ 50%...makes for great entertainment, doesn't it?
“Its entertainment not historical fact.”
Agreed. I call it Viking soap opera.
