The first episode rushed over far too many incidents far too quickly and gave hardly any geographical context. I felt as though I was on a historical roller coaster wearing a blindfold!
I haven’t bothered with any more episodes.
I have given a higher score for the “story” because it ought to be a very interesting story if told well.

Not very engaging
