I'm too ignorant on the subject to critique much, but as someone subjected to the appalling tripe that is American "documentary" television (such as the Discovery Channel and the -cringe- "History" Channel), I have to say this seemed quite above average.
The CG was a bit much, the music was a bit much, the shamanic re-enactment was... well, could have been worse I suppose... but overall, it did catch my interest and I can only imagine it did the same for a select number of younger folks considering their interests and careers.
This was not likely aimed at readers of this forum, so surely you are all disappointed. I am trying to keep my perspective that of a typical tv-watcher... and I suspect this show gets at least passing marks in that regard.
I guess now we just have to get government and public in general to have any kind of interest in exploring the past and planning for a reasonable future, no problem, right?
