Heroes and Villains

How hard can it be to digitize this, or put out a Blue-Ray set that works in American devices? This was extremely enjoyable, and even if a person only liked one or two of the stories here, we should be able to hand the producers money and download or own a copy.

The Napoleon story was one of the best depictions I have seen, incredibly well acted and well directed. Richard the Lion Heart was equally entertaining. I can't fathom how resources were spent on this and the whole project now just rests somewhere out of anyone's reach.

I loved the series, and I am sad that I spent an hour looking for a place to buy it and could not. What gives? Why won't my money spend here?

This might be the worst historical series, I have ever seen. They literally had and English actors play the different characters. A Scottish guy played Attila the Hun 😂. They don't even bother to hide the accents either. Don't watch this crap.

I'm a documentary buff. I don't often enjoy reenactments but decided to randomly check this out on Amazon prime video after exhausting many other options. I began watching the Napoleon epsiode with few expectations except maybe an entertaining historical review. It is so much more than that. The production quality is excellent even with a limited budget. The special effects are convincingly real and especially violent. The acting is phenomenal and writing manages to focus the story in a way that emphasizes important historical events in a dramatic package. For a series based on actual events it manages to be compelling. If you are a history geek you will enjoy this purely as entertainment as well. Very well crafted. The writing, acting and direction elevate this series well beyond what you would expect. IMO 'Game of Thrones' quality witout the budget.

Great show most of what is covered is common knowledge for any history fan but it is still a good refresher with a few bits and pieces of new stuff. Worth the time to watch.
