Yes, they did not mention a lot of things, I miss Roman Republic, Caesar, Augustus, Napoleon, French revolution, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Reformation but overall it is not bad and I learned or review a lot. It is also entertaining, sure, they might include more facts and less drama but it should not only show the history but also be entertaining.
Keep in mind that it is 12-episode show, altogether it is cca 550 minutes, it would take a couple of more seasons to cover all of the important history. I also liked America, the story of the US and they also failed to mention for example gangs, new music culture (jazz, soul, rap, etc.), so imagine if it is not possible to cover all of the important history about the state which is only cca 200 years old, how they can put history of the mankind in such a short series?
