Faking Hitler

This series for me started off well as it was done in a rather light hearted and comical manner. As it wore on though a seriousness seeped in which I considered a let down. Perhaps I'm a little young to fully consider the implications of events 80 years ago but I'll quote a 2013 article in the "New Yorker" magazine. "Young Germans today consider Adolf Hitler to be a buffoonish and somewhat comical figure; and one associated with a certain black humour".

I was hoping for such a comical vibe throughout the entire season. Students today dress up as crazed Roman Emperors at toga parties and no doubt the mad figures of the 20th centuries will be represented in the same fashion.
