I made it 15 minutes into Ep. 1 and could not take more. There are so many untruths in those 15 minutes, plus everything is presented in such an overly dramatic way, I turned it off. Coming back from the first commercial break, the narrator recaps everything that took place in the first 10 minutes...Really, do they have such little respect for the viewer they assume attention spans are so short or is it simple laziness to stretch material? The History Channel should do better than this...Roman history has some arguments going on still, but it is well established Hannibal was not African and neither was his father. These type of shows usually have historians and professionals who make their life about ancient history....this program has a House Rep. from Hawaii telling us '...the important thing about power is who wields it' and as one of the 'Shark Tank' showed up, I was out...done. Terrible, lazy effort History Channel.
