Loved watching this riveting show. Don't listen to the haters, there's a million terrible and serious things on earth to get angry & upset about, and this isn't one of them. However, just don't watch if you have any colour of skin hang ups, take it very seriously or expect the show to be anything more than a depiction.
It's enjoyable and interesting to hear from experts in the field of topic throughout, then what they describe is acted in various creative depictions.
It's a part fact, part creative fiction, drama & history with fabulous scenery, costumes & acting.
