We wanted to like it We had hopes for this series, we really did. Just so you know, we're very interested in history, culture, the arts, science, architecture, archaeology and, well, you name it, if we can learn from it we're in. However, this program did not 'catch' either of us in the first episode.
For one thing, the sound was up and down, sometimes deafening, other times inaudible and we had to continually adjust volumes, but ok, this is a technical fault in production, mixing etc., not a failure in the information or presentation. Unfortunately, that was an issue too.
The narrator /presenter, though knowledgeable, was monotone, without much of any vocal inflections whatsoever. The pace was really slow and seemed to lack direction in the form of a story or narrative that had a point.
We also always want to know more about the history and stories but there was only some context and not a lot of information and that left us wondering what was the point, what were they trying to say, and why? There were some very well done computer generated simulations which explained battle injuries but it just wasn't good enough.
Maybe sometime I'll look at other episodes when it's late and I have nothing else in the que, but for now, there are tonnes of other shows that are informative enough for those who are historically interested and have a better flow.
