I am a 53 year old woman in Texas and I came upon this program on HULU. It's obviously for kids, but I AM HOOKED. I was searching for funny shows to watch in the evenings to help me decompress after a hard days work, and this show does the job.
I don't know how accurate it is; For example, the costumes for the Incas and Aztecs are almost identical and in some cases, the backdrop and props look more like something you'd see in a South Pacific village rather than Mezo America. But that's okay because the show is wonderfully funny. I watch it solely for its comical merit and not historical accuracy.
The humor is intelligent, sharply witty and sometimes grossly juvenile; reminiscent of The Monty Python skits from back in the day. With the exception that Horrible Histories (HH) also has an incredibly talented musical writing team (their musical skits are absolutely FABULOUS) and a wonderfully multi-talented cast -- they all sing, dance, act and are very, very funny.
I highly recommend it to anyone age 12 and above. Please keep those great episodes coming HH!
