Pretty accurate in some aspects, but I haven't watched enough to be able to nitpick. So far I know they're taking a lot of liberty with the politics. In the first episode someone gets sentenced to death which is really awkward. About the worst sentence in that time was to be exiled. And the leader seems to be like a dictator, which is really difficult to manage with such small communities and is not historically accurate.
I dislike that they're depicting the vikings yet again as harsh savages in ways that they were not, that is already the picture that everyone is used to since the 50's and it gets really old for me. I did enjoy some things, the fight scene at the beginning was pretty cool, and the filming and acting were all nice to watch. Especially the two thugs with their rape-faces, I couldn't stop laughing
