I loved this show, and it turns out this is somewhat a real story.
Thorfinnn was a man who had suffered and eventually founded a real colony in North America. It held 160 men and women. Once they made it to Vinland, or what's now known as America, they traveled far into the land. They eventually established a trade with the locals, but after a while the trade started to fail. When the trade failed and trust with the natives had collapsed, it led to an all-out battle and the colony had fallen when it had fallen; Thorfinn's son was leading, who was named Snorri Thorfinnsson. The real village that had never fully finished was in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
The land of peace was just a dream that never came true. America did become a place of freedom, but wars still happened; his wish was never fulfilled.

10/10 would recommend, mostly based on a real story
