If you are even mildly interested in history or religion and have not studied the crusades this is a very good series. I had no idea the Crusades were this bad. The show was very well done. Information could be given out a bit faster during the show but not much faster. The show isn't drawn out like so many other shows are. It really is a very well done series. Next one is on tomorrow monday night at 9/8c.
Even today stories are told of the barbaric Crusades in coffee shops in the Arab world like they happened last week. After 9/11 when Bush said we had to "launch a Crusade against terrorism" it sent shivers down the spine of the Arab world. I always thought this was uber left wing liberal crap that many were bitching just to bitch. I now realize they were right. I had no idea it was this bad.
