About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, dramatic overview of big historical milestones with flashy reconstructions, similar in spirit to The Seventies; Not for you if you want deep, rigorous detail or minimal bias.

Pros: entertaining quick history tour; strong visuals and reenactments; sparks interest for students | Cons: shallow and rushed coverage; questionable accuracy and experts; noticeable Western and US bias
