An excellent programme as regards its content, but the scripting is awful. Raksha gets away ok, but Carla is made to look half-witted. Try to make it more natural, please. The writing of stuff on a glass pane is a bit silly. Please keep going, but improve.
This is so insulting to the viewer. It is so amateurly scripted and directed. You can see the presenters queueing up to say their lines, inane and risible as they are. This is something that I would have expected to see as a six year old on kids TV back in the 60s. The fact that this is being shown this on primetime evening TV now shows how much the media has "dumbed down"
Utterly underwhelming historical / archaeological series. There is nothing new and it seems to be little more than an opportunity to promote a series presented almost wholly by women.
It's repetitive and not very interesting. The presenters exhibit little in the way of screen presence and the jumping from studio to location serves little purpose. I've watched parts of 2 or 3 of these and won't be bothering again.

It's nice to watch a show that features women scientists. Obviously some people can't handle it, but I actively seek out programming with women. It's unfortunate that so many men are threatened by women. Frankly, some of the other comments border on misogyny. In any event, this show is fascinating. It's kind of a true crime/history/archeology mashup. Hope there are many seasons of this.
A disappointing slog through what could have been fascinating material. Information overload combined with stiff delivery made this nearly unwatchable. Tori Herridge's segments were especially monotonous, droning on with textbook facts rather than engaging storytelling. Save yourself the time and skip this one. I was excited about the concept but quickly found myself checking how much time was left in each episode. Tori Herridge speaks as if she's lecturing undergrads who are forced to be there. Her lack of real expertise clearly doesn't translate to engaging television. I don't know who this show is for but it wasn't for me.
