Vikings... Its a okayish show, but calling it historically accurate or, "mildly inaccurate" is wrong. Its fantasy, thats it. I mean, come on, they cant even get the geography right. Apparently Denmark has huge fjords with cliffs and mountains, and you can walk from Denmark to Uppsala. Which is also placed on a mountain. WHAT?
The story of Ragnar Lothbrok is Nordic fantasy so right there inaccuracy is gonna be prevalent and also what joer said
Ragnar is not based entirely on fantasy, there are many historical events mixed into his saga which have made historians uncertain about the existence of a Ragnar Lothbrok.

Season 3 is hard to watch sometimes, the previous two season have been bareable, but equipping the saxons with incredibly shiny Burgeonettes makes my eyes bleed, I know it's not historically accurate but you don't need to make the damn show unwatchable with it.
