I was rather conditioned i found to avoid the new history channel like the plague for its main stream offerings to pull in more viewers by giving a bit of historical accuracy up in exchange for dramatic liberties.
This trend stayed so constant for what seemed like decades and im sure was where various and often increasing dramatic license was used to depart from strict reality to make entertainment over factual history in the goal of increasing viewership and profits.
Its had become in the same vein of how one must subscribe to a specialty extension MTV or music television channel in order to actually get music television or music videos in the original classic format.
Apparently all those licenses were far more expensive and less profitable than the modern wave of teen youth orientated reality shows and lower tiered unsophisticated base dramatic entertainment written equally for the not too demanding audience.
Seeing only history in the genre here makes me wonder how long has the history channel been returning itself towards the center and its origins of strictly factual history.
Im not even sure if "you can ever really go back" once youve moved on or left"
Waiting to watch this is going to be like trying to reconnect with an old ex when things didn't end average to well.
