So many images and a bit of acting...and interviews by historians but not of the culture being shown! Why not? Are there no Greek historians who could shed light on the events being shown? Of course. But instead we are subjected to two Italian academics, one who does not speak English and the other who is barely comprehensible. But the main issue is that they are incompetent historians making statements that are patently false!
The main issue is that there are so so many misstatements/ false assumptions, and just plain mistakes when discussing ancient Greek history!
So the script is just plain sophomoric. Now for a highly distracting aspect.
The background incidental music is just plain annoying.
In sum, this is the kind of programing that gives netflix a bad reputation.
Sad.
