I read the synopsis for each of the episodes and thought - BORING!!! But I noted that it had some good reviews, so hesitantly I thought I would just check out the first episode.
It was a big surprise, and whilst being far from a fast paced show, I found it refreshing to watch something that was intellectually stimulating as opposed to the usual meaningless diatribe that I enjoy.
I found the show made me start to think about and question views that I had previously held thinking they were obviously correct. The show highlights the grey areas around subjects that many consider to be black and white.
Whilst I am no expert it also seems to be historically accurate and seamlessly blends historical footage into the episodes.
I recommend giving it a view, I mean there are only 4 episodes and if you don't like it you can stop after the first - but you won't.
