Supposedly based on the lives of real Vikings that lived back in the day, but I'm sure it's highly dramatized to the point of being virtually complete fiction.
Lots of sex and gory violence and therefore highly entertaining.

It's a good series, well written and acted. It's also pretty faithful to history and/or the sagas.
I'm curious how far they'll take the story. Curious to see whether the story continues after the death of the main character, which it did in the sagas and in history.
As for watching it, the first two seasons are available on Hulu Plus via Roku, Apple TV, etc. Also, both Roku and Apple TV have a History Channel channel available for free. Seasons 1, 2 are there too plus Season 3 episodes become available the day after their original air date (so Season 3 Episode 6 will be available tomorrow).

Seasons 1, 2 & 3 are available for free on Hulu.com and History.com via the web.
