Thumbs down

I find the show typically hollywood hooie . Vikings vrs Samurai??

The one episode I found most outlandish was the Roman Gladiator vrs the Apache Indian - who was the most dangerous or just really, really rude

I found the fight senarios insane and the stereotypes rampant. Apparently all gladiators are body builders with no cardio fitness or brains and the Apache are sneaky.

It's hard to take the show seriously although the weapons tests have lots of blood and guts flying everywhere which makes for great eye candy. (expensive transparent ballistic gel heads and torsos with coloured organs which spout fake blood and tissue when crushed, penitrated and otherwise abused).

Not very educational, sadly, my nephew believed all of it (which explains his history marks).
