This is probably one of my favourite shows, I've watched season 1 and absolutely loved it.
It's not quite "Vikings" but that's a great thing, the story just draws you in, however episode 1 can be slow at times.
Have you watched it? If so, what's your views on the show? Looking forward to watching season 2?
Intro: The year is 872, and many of the separate kingdoms of what we now know as England have fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred.
