The history videos in this series often have crude dry humor that doesn't really make you laugh but is rather there as small visual gags to add some extra visual elements to the stories.
In the King Henry VIII video this humor kinda ruins the storytelling and just becomes off-putting right away.
This is not that case for the French revolution videos. Here there is enough interesting info to keep you glued to the screen and the humor just makes the dark situation easier to digest. It's also presented in an unbiased way so you don't get the usual moral lecture that young YouTubers LOVE to deliver. It's just history with gags. Personally I learned a lot from this. It's interesting that so many current philosophers use the French revolution to support their claim of people needing to rebel to build a better society while in reality these videos show an extremely dark, gruesome and totalitarian outcome of that event. I think history such as this is essential to make us think twice before we rebel.
It's a brutal revolution with a horrible result teaching us all that the alternative to a non-ideal society is never utopia but another non-ideal society or something much worse. So for this lesson I rate this documentary highly.
