It's a stupidly minor detail, but am I the only one who gets bugged a little by them calling the ruler an 'earl' rather than a 'jarl'?
I mean, sure, it's not like they're using any other Scandinavian terms to make the absence of the word jarl particularly noticable, but it still bugs me. I blame Skyrim.

I always thought "jarl" was properly (natively) pronounced "YAR-yl", not "JAR-yl".
They always call him "jarl" I think, it just sounds different depending on the actor's accent changes how exactly they pronounce it.
I think. I'm not a Scandiwegian.

Yeah, it is pronounced with a y sound.
Eh, maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, and I only catch it when it sounds like they're saying earl (although, I have noticed that the guide information on Dish does refer to him as the Earl, so at least somebody's doing it).

what rape? You mean the pre-game sex with the slave? I hardly think that counts as rape.

Looking forward to this one, but as a Scandinavian I have to maintain a little healthy skepticism
Haven't got HBO Nordic so I guess I have to wait until it's picked up by one of the major Networks here in Norway.

Just crushed all 3 episodes, I like it. Not enough rape for sure, and I'm not really liking the whole evil JARL thing either. the actor reminds me of Denethor from LOTR.
Also I dunno if its the pacing or the way it jumps around, but they don't show the passage of time very well. One minute the boat is a frame, 2 shots later its built. One minute hes asking to learn English, the next scene he is having a full conversation with the English Dude.
