I like Ketil as a guy. I say this as this episode fully acknowledges the difficulty of being a warrior and having bravery as a man.
Obviously, while I can't go to in-depth about it, the plot of this episode was great. We were introduced to a few new characters, and of course we maintain the old ones still.
I say this about every episode, but I love how Thorfinn and Einar complement each other so well as characters. I really feel like the 2 work and feel quite real. They're funny and well matched. I hope they stay together for a while in the show as they have value in each other's development as people.
I think the thing I really picked up on this episode was how nice the art is, especially in the background. The colouring of the vibrant leaves and plains of grass is so calming and wondrous just to admire, and I think it really sets the scene of the show.
There's not much I can say about this episode besides these small observations, but overall it was strong.
