I often have a problem with how others are rude in reviews........ Its not fun. This docudrama is a docudrama, reviewers need to remember that. No documentary is going to be 100% accurate, as far as we can tell its impossible to be 100% accurate and yet I see lots of reviewers complaining vociferously about historical inaccuracies. I used to indulge in that sort of thing, now however I understand that its not realistic to expect complete historical accuracies. Hannibal being portrayed by an African American is A-Okay by me even though we don't know precisely what skin tone he had. We will probably never know for sure. Seems to me that a lot of viewers had unrealistic expectations. Yes it is biased but lets not forget that much of Roman history was written by Romans, so they were being biased themselves. There were some things they left out and included that made me raise an eyebrow but nothing 'cringeworthy'. The drama is there to show viewers how the characters feel. All the critical viewers seem to be nit-picking. Something that I find annoying these days.
