I kinda like it, but it's kinda shit.
Allow me to elaborate - I like the production values, I like the sets and costumes and some of the characters. But goddammit, Ragnar is such a giant Mary Sue, his star-fleet uniform is showing. Apart from always and at every occasion being one hundred percent right, and being harder to defeat in battle then Thor himself - the guy wins every single one of his battles because everyone else fell off the stupid tree, hit every branch on the way down, then rolled down stupid road for fifty stupid miles.
Case and point - Lord Attawolf (or however you spell his name); Shows up, sees the vikings, plans to outthink them - by literally camping less then a nights march away from them in an unfortified and barely guarded camp. I genuinely thought that was a trap, but instead it's being played completely and utterly for laughs.
So here's my question - does this get better at any point? Do we get anyone acting even semi-sensible or employing basic battle tactics? Or is this going to be pure "let's jerk off to how great our protagonist is, no one can touch him, he's the smartest" for the rest of the series?
