The series started out in a pretty promising way. We did enjoy it initially as it was well delivered and described the broad history.
After a few episodes, things started to change. The story telling became very narrow and would focus on one or 2 events only. It started to disturb as well that the script primarily focusses on a pretty small subregion of what already was a pretty small region to begin with.
The so called cliff hanger on the heron being connected to the death of Mary of Burgundy was ridiculously far fetched. Even as a non historian I could spot a few statements that sounded great but were completely incorrect (the cause for the spreading of pestilence being the most appealing one).
So ok, this is infotainment but as such, it became more boring and boring...
