    Imperfect but still interesting
    A fascinating show with one huge flaw. They don't bother to fact check, often reporting historical inaccuracies which is unacceptable. One example, they claimed that as soon as WW2 ended and Germany was divided up that the Soviet Union started fortifying the border. This is untrue. It wasn't until after people started to flee across the boarder in higher numbers that the Soviets initially made a border with barbed wire and eventually the Berlin Wall. It's a real shame that such a fantastically interesting show isn't a trustworthy source of information. I love the show, it's great but there is no excuse for reporting false history, furthermore some of their "experts" are very right wing on some issues. Academics and experts are generally rather good at impartiality when offering commentary and analysis. It's hard to tell if the factual inaccuracies are down to laziness, lack of budget or some sort of bizarre agenda. I'm guessing it's a budgetary issue, whatever the reason, it detracts from the credible experts and fascinating subject matter.
