Colosseum TV series doesn't suck?!

I had ignored the history channel new Colosseum series as not likely worthy, but some channel surfing indicates it may be pretty good. It even looks like you can stream episodes after a while for free at https://www.history.com/shows/colosseum . Where is that old forum spirit of critiquing popular media representations of Rome?

I can understand avoiding TV due to spewage of woke commercials, but use that fast forward button. They even revive having real expert commentators instead of the trend towards slangy pierced woke figureheads mouthing scripts they don't understand. I'm a little embarrassed about Romans love of such games and would prefer to follow their more popular horseracing,  but this series apparently redeems itself with wider context.
