This is a good docuseries to show children if they show interest in ancient history. It has: -Unnecessary Explosions -Cool Rock Music -Overly Excitable Random Non-Experts -Measurements in Football Fields -Guns Shooting Things! -United States Military -Explanation of basic concepts -Bombastic comparisons -Contradictory Statements -Catchphrases! -Rome and Egypt with a cameo for other civilizations every so often -Out of place modern cultural and technological references -Experiments that don't test what Ancient tech was actually used for -Episodes are 70% content, 30% same content, but repeated again -Some conclusions are not made by Historians or Experts, but by a guy with a really cool 3D projecting glove. For people who enjoy documentaries, this is incredibly underwhelming and is more of a tv show with personalities than informative. Often retreading old grounds, each episode has at least one new thing you will learn, so it is not a complete wash. (One episode was actually fantastic!) However, actual historians and experts are not shown enough and the uncharismatic '3D Analyst' with the glove is the most frustrating recurring segment I have ever watched in my entire life. Very heavily Egypt and Rome centric, even when other civilizations and their cultures fit the theme of the various episodes. The first episode is absolutely dreadful, but the subsequent ones become more bearable as the season goes on. This is a docuseries best suited to grab and hold the attention of children or played in the background while you multitask.
