Exzellent

If you're seeking a captivating blend of entertainment and education about the Age of Exploration, James has you covered. The show masterfully weaves fascinating details and profound insights into the lives of the daring pioneers who shaped our world. Its vivid storytelling and rich historical depth make each episode a journey worth taking.

My sole critique lies in its brevity-with only three episodes, it leaves you yearning for more. Here's hoping for a Season 2 that delves into the voyages of legends like Magellan, Vasco da Gama, and other trailblazers. Until then, this series remains a must-watch for history enthusiasts craving adventure and discovery!
