Plots(1)
The stage is set for the first journey west by Ragnar Lothbrok as he gathers a crew willing to risk their lives to travel into the unknown. Earl Haraldson's paranoia reaches new heights as it becomes apparent that trust is hard to come by in this dark era. (History Channel)

Prioritize:
Just as enjoyable as the first episode. There was always something happening — from the crew recruitment to the journey west. The action scenes in Northumbria were well done, and the raid and burning of the monastery warmed my pagan heart.
()
A well-executed motif of discovering a new world that has some parallels to 1492, only less lavish and artistically ambitious than Ridley Scott's film.
