It can be interesting but it had the same problem as Downton Abbey: The shows keep doing time jumps. Suddenly there's one character who everyone loves (Maggie Smith/Ragnar) and the show runners know if they lose the character, they're going to lose the audience. So they slow everything down and suddenly it's boring as shit.

Ragnar is dead now and the show is terrible. They're doing 20 episode 'seasons' but really they're two 10 episode seasons broken up by a huge gap.

Oh and Ragnar's wife doesn't age. Everyone else is getting older but she still looks like she's in her 30's.

Yeah, the show is only good with Ragnar and Lagertha. Either of them gone and it sucks. Welp.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I can't stand Neil Hamburger, though I admire his commitment. What else has he even done?
