Watched the first episode. I really hope the series is popular. The characters are interesting and the show seems like it might sort of follow true history due to it being made for the history channel. My kind of thing so I might post again when I catch up. It is a shame the Vikings will find only Iceland, Greenland and Nova Scotia, but at least they can be said the first people of European decent to find the new world.

Wait,Iceland's in this??

The main character is looking to go West on annual Raids rather than following his chieftien to raids in Russia like they always do. I presume since the show is portraying real history the Vikings would find Iceland first when exploring the Atlantic since it is so close to Europe. I really do not know if Iceland or Greenland was discovered first by the Viking,  but for a show it seems way more interesting to have them find Iceland over Greenland.

Iceland was first and then some people moved from Iceland further to the West and discovered Greenland. I hope they go there at least!

It should be a gurantee then, and the Vickings are practically all blue eyed blondes and red heads so it seems authentic. The show actually portrays real activities and cultural traits from what I can tell.
