I like Vikings a lot, but the portrayal of bishop Heahmund by Jonathan Rhys Meyers is absolutely ridiculous. His Batman voice imitation is annoying from the start and adds an unrealistic dimension to the show, which makes me want to fast forward the episode.
With all the extremely young actors leading the show now, it tends to become more of a teen series than an adult show to my opinion. I really miss the character of Ragnar and also the storylines are getting thinner and less important. It almost seems like they have abandoned the historical essence of the show and wanted to be more fantasy.
Ivar was a great and successful leader of the Vikings, but he is merely a childish monster and it is getting harder each episode to believe that events like this have occurred. I know it's fiction, but I hear my self thinking: "this is ridiculous" more and more.
