This series has completely and totally destroyed my opinion of the History Channel. How a respected organization which purports to inform its viewers about 'history' could associate itself with such garbage is beyond my comprehension. And to back a director whose last film of any notoriety, the poorly-rated The Scarlet Letter, was released twenty years ago in 1995, and writers of virtually unknown films of total insignificance also from the 1980s and mid-90s, shows a complete absence of judgment. The true history of the Texas Revolution has real drama and excitement which does not need to be corrupted by the introduction of fictional sidebar characters, apparently for "comic relief", and total lies such as the supposed dalliance between Sam Houston and Emily West. I can only assume that the viewers who rated this series higher than 5/10 are paid hacks of the producers or members of Brendan Fraser's family.
