The premise of this show takes from Steve Allen's old PBS series "Meeting of Minds." Characters from the past come together to debate their viewpoints. But that is about all the two have in common.
For those expecting objective history in these programs, you will be sadly disappointed. This is nothing but Catholic apologetics. All the characters are flat: the Saints are pristine humans, faithfully following Catholic dogma; the Scoundrels are antagonists, without a scintilla of worth.
Neither is there any attempt to place the characters in an historical context. No backround on what was behind the ideas of Machiavelli, Rousseau, Rand. Just isolated quotes completely detached from their works.
But this is EWTN, the "Coming Home" network. So one has to expect a one-sided view.
