it's already reached the mid season finale with another 10 episodes due to come out later in the year

sets up brilliantly for the 2nd half of the series though, i don't know if anyone watched the trailer for it with Ivar on the throne at kattegat with lagethar as his prisoner
Have to bare in mind they are keeping as close to history itself and not written like GOT

personally i liked this series.
Go Team Bjorn!
