    Bingo. I'm still waiting to find out WTF happened after Episode 25. I gather the manga has more development, but also lacks a conclusion.

    That's not unique to Sherlock. It also applies nicely to the Moffat era of Doctor Who. Basically, Moffat is great at writing emotional content, and has some interesting initial ideas for stories, but sucks at resolving them and pretty much relies on ass-pulls to resolve central conflicts.

    Give it time. He can only send so many tweets a day.

    I just call them "fucking Nazis."

    "Trump-loving white supremacists of the alt-right"

    Ironically, his real name is Tony Phallus.

    Amazon Prime offers Showtime as a standalone subscription using their video service. $15/mo if memory serves.

They still screw up stuff date-wise and they display inaccurate aspects of culture, arms, armor, and sailing. But in spite of being on the Not-Really-History-At-All-Channel, it's really just

    Sorry, but I refuse to spoiler tag well-documented history.

    Historically speaking, it should be more than just Ivar. Ubbe, Bjorn, and Hvitserk should all be leaders in the "Great Heathen Army," and woe betide unto all who dwell in Eoforwic…

    Probably because the main character is just an empty shell, which doesn't exactly make for a compelling story.

    I think I tried the demo and never played it any further.

    You should be more worried about Barry Allen trying to fix it himself and inevitably fucking it up.

    Fuck that. I'm ready to get this rebellion started.
