Cool 1st episode, I have always paid close attention to the topic, (studied as a hobby for my entire life, staring before the 10 day Nile cruise where I kept interrupting the tour guides with excited exhortations at 9 years old), and I learned a lot.
This isn't standard, surface-level documentary info. Some reviewers on the big "i" site tuned it out because they disagree with a certain take presented, they didn't give it enough time or credit.
The idea is a shotgun approach to the subject, giving you ALL the info, even the controversial stuff, with varying levels of professional perspective and critique. They don't really tell you what to believe, they let you have all the info, then tell you whether it might be suspect, and why. Can't see how that harms anyone, and that it helps most who are taking the time to consider it in the first place.
Early series rating 7.5/10, for nonfiction, historical tv. Will watch more, and I'm happy it's a continuing series.
