    I love this show!

    I love this show! It's a fascinating and immersive approach to teaching people about some of the incredible events of our history. It's incredibly interesting and exciting, as the host Theo Wilson walks the audience through the event as though you (and he) are there at the time it takes place.

    I really hope it continues! It's perfect for all ages to learn, sort of firsthand, what happened.

    Good!

    A bit overdramatic, but overall it goes into several very interesting spots in history, and the historical recreations are great! I especially liked the H. H. Holmes episode, and the one about the Johnstown flood. Those are two little known but absolutely riveting pieces of history!

    Riveting

    This is such a tight, streamlined show without lots of boring, meandering filler. It is able to methodically break down and explain how historical events happened, step by step, in an entertaining and educational format. The episodes are nicely condensed and get right to the core of what happened--why, when, and how--with the advantage that time, distance and hindsight provides. Of course, you will learn more in a 10-hour miniseries. But if you have 20 minutes to spare, you will come away with greater knowledge than before, which may pique your curiosity to learn about history in even more depth.

    Outstanding absolutely Outstanding

    First ignore the two reviews claiming its bad im guessing from some of the comments about the host it has more too do with the fact its not a white host.. Reality is this is a brilliant and clever idea it completely ads a new twist to documentaries adding the time traveaspect is brilliant the host Theo Wilson is outstanding he really easy to listen two breaks everything down a great documentary for all ages absolutely a must watch for fans of documentary about history i am absolutely excited about a new season cant wait.... you have to give it a watch absolutely a must wafor history lovers....

    Narration

    The narration and interviews that underpins this over dramatised retelling of historical events is off putting to the point that I just can't bear the watch an entire episode, despite my passion for such stories. Less of the drama and entertainment and just gives us the scholarly facts.
