What an absolute masterpiece of a show Michael Hirst accomplished here. Honestly, this show changed the game. I had never seen a long ago historical show that had characters you actually gave a crap about before, except in movies really. This show has already being copied lately to try and find that perfect mix, but nobody seems to be able to do it. I hope Hirst revisits a new world (Romans? England and Normans? Mesopotamia? The Silk Road?) in a show again! Because the dude is just a genius with this stuff. I also hope that Fimmel plays a Viking or someone of long ago again, because the he is ridiculously amazing at it. One of the top 10 tv show casting choices in history. I'll miss this show and how it spurned me on to actually read even more history!
