To be fair, I have only watched the first of the three part series. However, based on this first episode I must say....."History"?....not so much.
Very disappointing historical content.
That said, it's well filmed and acted. If it were an outright "drama", I would gave it many stars.
A few years ago " The History Channel" dropped "Channel" from it's name. I would suggest they dropped the wrong word.
As I said, I have watched the first episode. I had recorded all three episodes with plans to "binge watch". But now I have decided to pace myself. The third episode purports to deal with the Battle of Bunker Hill". Breath in. Breath out.
Just for a frame of reference, this is John Singleton Copley's 1772 portrait of Sam Adams. Not much resemblance.

Fellow New Englander here Maggie, I tried very hard to watch it. I still haven't made it through the first episode.
There is very little history in it.
Much like the so-called "History" Channel. Like you said, they dropped the wrong word.
The History Channel has almost nothing to do with History anymore, alas!
