One has to remember how much The History Channel has changed over the years. From real history to Swamp Diving reality shows. This show thankfully isn't that shallow. It definitely has enough facts to keep the watcher immersed but this obviously will vary from episode to episode.
Certain episodes can push the limits of their statements just to add to the danger factor as a previous post pointed out where a flight pilot was saying something along the lines of how gravity is the enemy of flight. Might have been a simple switch up by the production team but gravity is a constant and doesn't change. If one enemy had to be put on flight, it would be weather which is dynamic and changing.
To summarize, it's above average compared to the crap The History Channel airs nowadays. It will keep you interested and you will learn a few things about human history. Some episodes even leave you wanting for more. Haven't felt that way about a History Channel Production in a very long time.
My Rating: Solid *6.5/10* I would've given it a seven if all the facts were actually checked to make sure they're correct. Hope I helped you decide if you'll invest many of your free hours in this show.
