Wildly inappropriate. Really awful stuff. I can't believe this was produced by a major streaming service. What a shame.

Biggest piece of propaganda made since Mein Kampf. Ignores common sense and actual history, complete victim bias. Don't waste your time

Multiple historians have debunked this drivel. It is not worth any person's time.
