Vikings: Valhalla: The Reckoning (2023)
Episode 8, Season 2
This shows pains me as a Norwegian

Vikings was never known for its accurate depiction of history, but God damn, dude.
In the first show, they turned Harald Finehair, our first king, into some lovesick puppy.
And now they kill off Olav Haraldsson - Saint Olav - before they even reach what's quite possibly the most important battle in Norwegian viking history.
His journey alone would be worthy of a show, but here they end up bastardizing it. Let's hope they make it interesting with his son, Magnus, which should hopefully tie up with Denmark. Then Harald can come in and become the king we know him as.
This show is just historical fan fiction, nothing more.
