It probably would have been better organised if the Story So Far special was on Disc 1 rather than Disc 3. Still it was pretty easy to get back into the story which is a semi-fictional account of Dane versus Saxon with lots of politics and war. You can also see the building tensions between pagan and Christian and the occasional zeal of recent converts. Utred is finding his fate and the people around him are finding theirs and it is all interlinked and sometimes very complicated.
It was entertaining enough but I found myself able to do other things while it was on. ( )

Enjoyed the 2nd series better than the first. Felt more comfortable with who was who and there was less sexual violence. In fact I was quite astonished by the soppy turn at the end..... ( )
