"Historians" Behaving Badly

This series left me stunned. I literally could not comprehend how a show that was airing on the "History" Channel could be so full of undocumented, biased conjecture.

This left me depressed for the state of "educational" television. With it's flashy animations, blood-splatter, overly dramatic narration, and erroneous historical "information," this is definitely a show that you can skip.

It comes across as nothing more than a TV version of tabloid gossip rags; I've no idea how the History Channel could let this air. There are so many sources of information on all of the people investigated that this kind of misrepresentation is inexcusable.

Again, not worth your time.
