Really enjoyed this series, I really liked the historians they picked, no idea why they got so much hatred, all from respected universities all were quite passionate about the story, especially enjoyed the welsh guy (forgotten his name!) all seemed to be knowledgeable about the subject.
Sure they took some artistic license with certain elements but the tales are always subjective to some extent.
I really liked the layout of the series flicking between the talking heads and the dramatised series. Acting was decent, series was great fun, I binged watched it and it definitely got me more interested in this period of history.
If you're not Dave from Swansea who's already read two books on Alexander and thus is the golden source of truth now from his armchair and you go into it with an open mind (it's not trying to be a Hollywood film like Troy), you'll enjoy it.
