Forbidden History

A series largely based on the speculations of so-called 'experts' who have no qualifications in their fields.

Given a choice of three possible explanations of anything, the programme will always choose the one with the least hard evidence to back it up.

Don't waste your time watching this rubbish.

Love this show..and its History. Would love to be on this show. New Mexico-Native American.

Rubbish. Claptrap. Pseudoscience or pseudo-history presented by an amazing parade of pseudointellectuals, mediocrities, self-promoting theorists and downright cranks. The only positive is that it's all dished up with a certain amount of gloss, like filet of roadkill with bechamel sauce. Never mind that--it's still faintly nauseating.

These are not scholars, but actors whose presentations are dedicated to sensationalism, shock and self-promotion.

These self-styled "experts" are all over the map on any topic they choose for the week. Their technical background is nil. Their work experience in the topic is nil.

Even at the high school level, the most basic rules of scholarship require research, supporting authorities, reasoning and analysis. These hour long shows posture a lot but prove nothing. They pretend to be skilled experts on every topic under the sun - but they aren't even close.

So, before you waste even an hour on one of these shows, look up the backgrounds and histories of the presenters. Decide for yourself.

Pseudo-historic, non-scientific sensationalist garbage where non-experts, non-intellectual spew their garbage. Most of the times I avoid them but just today I decided to give them a chance because there was a topic about a famous German executioner Johann Reichhart, a person with an interesting story I was familiar with. I expected the episode to be over the top, wild, sensationalist and so I prepare myself to endure some stupid statements. But...I couldn't force myself to watch this for more than five minutes. Right from the start, they wanted to present this man as one of the worst monsters that ever lived, they instantly switched to Hitler's era and let mostly average but disturbingly uneducated people to drag on with their wild claims and stupid ideas about how life in Germany was during that time (who cares?. I stopped watching after a woman with bellow-average intelligence started making one irrelevant and silly statement after another with no end in sight. If Hitler's isn't involved, then it isn't interesting, right? 1 star for demonizing a man who had the most unpleasant job ever during a time where such a job was normal (in most of the world) and the method of execution the most humane option available. He didn't deserve it.
