This is a good show. It is a brief history about the origins of things that have a huge impact on humanity. I really don't understand the hate here.
If you don't like the dramatization, it's not for you, but for many people, dramatization makes it more exciting and less dry to learn. Each to their own. Just because you didn't like dramatization doesn't mean this is a bad show.
If you know a lot already, there are shows out there that are more in-depth for you. This is not an in-depth show, but that doesn't mean it is a bad show. Also, comparing this to the classics that were produced decades ago that you probably watched when you were younger and didn't know as much is unfair and subjective.
But I gotta say the host is just absolutely a pain to watch. He must be high on something. He talks like a snake oil salesman giving a TEDTalk. And certainly a lot of points being given in the show makes me question how on earth did they jump to the conclusions, like how cooked meat made food more nutritious? How did Genghis Khan's expansion encourage innovation when you just said some episodes ago that he killed everyone? Certainly some of the stuff in here are to be contested, or at least elaborated, but I don't think it deserves less than a 6 out of 10. I actually learned some stuff from it.
