User Reviews

Good history lesson but fails as a drama

Saying something negative about this show somehow feels wrong - this kind of show is always needed. I don't regret watching it - you learn something, and you're never really bored. The only issue is: it feels like you're watching a history book. All the dialogues are directed at telling you some fact. Which is already good enough by me. But as a drama, it is not great - it feels way too artificial for that.
