"Based on" doesn't mean that it's a documentary. It's made clear elsewhere that this show is just loosely based on what that man did. If you missed it on IMDb, do a Wikipedia search - that guy didn't manage HALF of what our protagonist did. They are doing topical shows. It's not a period piece. I agree that they should maybe make that more clear in broadcasting the show, but at the same time, to be fair, there is a disclaimer at the end of every episode that this stuff didn't really happen. It's a fictional account. It might be an idea to do a little homework before posting a review for all to see, because your review makes you look foolish. Just a thought.
