It's alright. Nothing spectacular, but at least there's no Renaissance helmets popping up in the 9th century like there are in Vikings.

I think it has some great moments sandwiched inbetween boring Saxon politics and god debates
Alfred's the only interesting character now that Ubba is dead

This.
>In the one recorded naval engagement in the year 896,[3][58] Alfred's new fleet of nine ships intercepted six Viking ships in the mouth of an unidentified river along the south of England. The Danes had beached half their ships, and gone inland,[58] either to rest their rowers or to forage for food. Alfred's ships immediately moved to block their escape to the sea. The three Viking ships afloat attempted to break through the English lines.[58] Only one made it; Alfred's ships intercepted the other two.[58]
>Lashing the Viking boats to their own, the English crew boarded the enemy's vessels and proceeded to kill everyone on board. The one ship that escaped managed to do so only because all of Alfred's heavy ships became grounded when the tide went out.[62] What ensued was a land battle between the crews of the grounded ships. The Danes, heavily outnumbered, would have been wiped out if the tide had not risen. When that occurred, the Danes rushed back to their boats, which being lighter, with shallower drafts, were freed before Alfred's ships. Helplessly, the English watched as the Vikings rowed past them.[62] The pirates had suffered so many casualties (120 Danes dead against 62 Frisians and English),[58] that they had difficulties putting out to sea. All were too damaged to row around Sussex and two were driven against the Sussex coast (possibly at Selsey Bill).[58][62] The shipwrecked sailors were brought before Alfred at Winchester and were hanged.[58]
Hope they show this, I like watching pagan fucking shits get rekt.
