You made a huge mistake in your segment on Band of Brothers. The video clips are from Saving Private Ryan, not Band of Brothers. I agree with each of your picks, they are all exceptional
Ah sorry, u r correct, I don't know how I let such a silly mistake get past. I must have had a brain fart, I can only apologize and try to do better next time
@@HistorySpark No problem. I love your content and have watched many of the films and TV shows that you have recommended since I discovered your channel a few months ago.
@@HistorySpark Right, I was about to say the same thing (Saving Private Ryan). But thank you for mentioning the series on Adams! I had no idea it existed. I am going to try to find it now :) BTW, Band of Brothers is AMAZING. I also enjoyed Pacific by Tom Hanks....
So I view of naming Band of Brothers your top pick and then showing Saving Private Ryan, are you recommending Saving Private Ryan as your top pick, or Band of Brothers? I’ve heard equally top notch opinions about both these movies so I can see why you might’ve gotten them mixed up!
The Crown is most definitely not historically accurate. The producers take actual events and often either distort them with gross exaggerations or create a story that is a totally fictious construction. Perhaps the overarching feeling of the emotional hardships and sacrifices of monarchy is reflective of the truth, but no one should watch this show thinking they are always seeing historically accurate depictions of events in Queen Elizabeth's reign.
Band of Brothers vs Saving Private Ryan. Different but equally compelling. However, I cannot ever watch SPR again, despite its brilliance. There are too many scenes (especially the murder of the Jewish soldier by the Nazi in the tower) that I find particularly traumatizing. Simply cannot go there again.
If you enjoyed "Wolf Hall" (better grounded Tudor history with focused on Tom Cromwell) go back to the 1968-70 to watch a "A Man for all Seasons" and "Anne of a Thousand Days" as Cromwell, (a creature of Anne and her Boleyn family) features in both.
The Crown is notoriously inaccurate in its depiction of the members of the royal family. Pure entertainment. The events that surround the royal family e.g. Aberfan, were real.
Gotta say, I'm so freaking happy to someone else who recommends Canal+'s Borgia: Faith and Fear! Years ago I wrote the AntiWhiteQueen blog and I did a post comparing it to the Showtime The Borgias show, which was a Michael Hirst production. For me, Borgia was the superior show. While there were chunks of it that weren't historical or I thought went too far (Lucretia killing Juan...), the part of it that won me over was the accuracy of the brutality, such things would never be permitted in a Hirst production! I was not taken with the acting, but I appreciated that they cast actors who closely resembled the known appearances of those people- I'm sorry, Jeremy Irons is a fantastic actor but in no way shape or form does he in any way resemble Rodrigo Borgia! According to the production, they had most of the actors use their real accents to "represent the melting pot that was Rome," with the exception of Cesare who is actually Irish but took on an American accent for some reason. While I think that's a noble idea, it doesn't really work in practice when an entire family have completely different accents from each other! To this day, it is the blog post with the most contention. Though I stopped writing it when I became pregnant with my son and didn't have the energy to keep going, about a year ago that post got tagged in another blog that was essentially gate-keeping (it was on how unless you finished college and have a degree in the topic, you have no business discussing topics that interest you- just the worst kind of elitist garbage), and the author says about my opinion that Borgia is better as "it isn't," while not being a trained historian herself. It almost made me want to take it up again out of spite! I have not rewatched Borgia in many years. It was taken on by Netflix in the last season, but in the last few years it has only been available in Europe. I check periodically, and right now it's only available for purchase on Apple TV, which I don't have. I miss it!!
@@blaircolquhoun7780 Um, no. Thomas More WAS the Man for all seasons. The story was about him. Henry VIII was the supporting character. Thomas Cromwell was an incidental character.
I'm so relieved that you didn't pick Medici: Masters of Florence. The first series wasn't too bad, but the second series played fast and loose with history. The actor playing Lorenzo was woefully miscast.
Excellent choices! Out of them all, I do prefer the Middle Ages fare, but if given a choice to take one in a box set, it would be Band of Brothers. That one absolutely blew me away! Call the Midwife is really good too.
The Crown is good fun, but not exactly accurate. As pointed out by others it's Saving Private Ryan promo reel being used when talking about BoB. Rome deserves a place on the list even if the last season became very rushed story wise (script for 2 seasons pressed into one as the show was being cancelled). I also prefer The Borgias over Borgia, but can't really tell you why Oh and the first couple of seasons of Vikings are also heavily inspired by the old Norse sagas. If you haven't read the sagas I imagine the show loses some value Having said all that my first and only true love in historical shows is "I, Claudius"
Although _I, Claudius_ was a wonderfully acted and incredibly entertaining show, it could never be considered historically accurate. Just like _The Crown_ it follows the events surrounding the characters; the rest is highly fictionalised given that it's base source, the homonimous novel by Rupert Graves, is not a reliable material either.
The Borgias is nothing but soft porn and violence in velvet clothes... so if that is your thing.... for intellectuals, the original Masterpiece Theater from the 70s Elizabeth R with Glenda Jackson is the best Historical drama series of all time, no sex, no violence, no frills, just satisfying characters and dialogue.
I mean The Borgias were known for their huge number of sexual escapades and large number of partners so i think it would be very difficult to create a borgia based show without at least some elements of sexuality
The Borgias was a Michael Hirst production on Showtime, Borgia- Faith & Fear was originally produced by Canal+ and then joined with Netflix in season 3. They are two completely different productions. The Borgias is a typical Hirst production, with a rose-tint to it and superior acting but playing fast and loose with facts (it is easily comparable to The Tudors, of which he "borrowed" part of the opener with H8 running his finger down AB's neck, which always irritated me- his lazy can you be?!). Borgia is dark, gritty and much more brutal, but the nudity and violence are never made light of, nor turned away from. The public executions are incredibly realistic, almost too much at times. Borgia definitely handles Lucretia better, showing her growing into a strong, popular noble wife, just as she actually was. Plus, no incest.
The show mentioned in the list is not "The Borgias" featuring Jeremy Irons. It's "Borgia", a canal+ production led by a US director featuring a cast with different European accents. I agree that Borgia is closer to historical accuracy than The Borgias when it comes to characters looks,ages and general chronology. I really like the show and can't understand why so many commentators slated it because of the variety of accents. Accent is a superficial matter compared to trying to convey accurate fact based story telling. Borgia focused on the depth of storytelling, whilst The Borgias focused on the superficial crowd pleasing elements of storytelling
I’m sorry, I’m just trying to understand what you’re saying here?! I’m a recent “royalist”, well, for the last several years, I’ve taken a deep dive into the British Monarch, and have a really deep affection for them, all of them, alive and past away, I absolutely love Queen Elizabeth II, what a bad•ss she was! I really adore all of them… However, I am not a fan of Sparry and Feghan, they make me absolutely sick, two very undeserving human beings.
@@Parlor.. What he's trying to say is Kingdom of England 927 to 1649 Commonwealth of England 1649 to 1660 Kingdom of England 1660 to 1707 Kingdom of Great Britain 1707 to 1800 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1801 to 1922 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1922 to now
I have just finished watching all 3 seasons of Borgia. I enjoyed it very much. The first season was on the only one available in Ireland. I had to purchase the other two seasons from France. Although the finale of season 3 was pure fiction!!
You can't rate historical shows for their accuracy based on your feelings, a term you use often. They are either true to historical facts, events, and chronology, or are close. If not, they're entertainment but not history.
The text of "John Adams" is a proper biography not only of the man, but of his accomplices and the eras in which they lived, fought and created their common political visions.
@@richardscanlan3167 I enjoyed it too, that still doesn't make it historically accurate. The problem is with the various Viking sagas themselves are mixed with a lot of myth. While we can garner some history from them, it's largely legend at best. Then you have to take into account where show deviates from the sagas as well.
Interesting, how come u preferred the other borgia series? I have watched both and think that borgia faith and fear is more historically accurate and more interesting
@@HistorySpark well I may give it a try but for me the actors/ actresses in Borgias were really good sets were marvellous too. I jumped on this series when you recommended it but Borgias came up, I didn't even see THE Borgias so first come, first served, I only realised when I kept scratching my head and wondering why you yhought Jeremy Irons was American. Great history of this family, still in power in Ecuador no less.until the 1940s
@@thereckoning8326 Well, I also saw both. But Borgias (Irons) was not even shot finished. thats a big minus. and the actors in Borgia (Doman) are also very great, alone Doman, then Ryder, Dychauk - looked like people tried to imagine Lucrezia. But also the Serbian actor who played Della Rovere - the later warrior pope Julius II, great. and, as said in the beginning, it was at least finished. and btw, Rodrigo spoke Italian, Spanish/Valencian, and of course Latin. so who cares about what accent he has in English!
LOve the Fontana Borgia. The Superior one, also you should watch the movie The Conclave as it basically young Borgia’s coming of age after his uncle pope’s death. Also has actors from Borgia in it!
History is written by the victor, and the victor isn't always a force for good. Don't assume the shows are accurate, just because that's what the victor wrote what happened. I am not saying they're wrong, but i honestly fail to trust most historians due to this fact.
I used to praise Brit period pieces as being like stepping out of a time machine for the viewer because of the attention to detail & historical accuracy. Since historical accuracy has been supplanted by wokeness, that magic vanished.
OMG! How is it even possible to choose "Band of Brothers" as No. 1 and then to show repeated clips from "Saving Private Ryan?" Did anyone ACTUALLY watch both of them? How is it humanly possible to not notice the error before the video was posted on UA-cam? What sort of standards are at work here?
You hated John Doman's American accent in Borgia? Why? Which accent would you prefer amd why? Wjy weren't you bothered by any and all of the other accents in that show or Jeremy Irons' British accent in the other Borgia show? Do you think any accent while speaking English is more "accurate" than some other when it is supposed to stand for a 15th century Catalan speaking 15th century Italian?
because hes the only one in the entire cast with an American accent while everyone else had a different European accent so his accent just stuck out a lot more cuz it seemed really out of place. That is my opinion of the show and I am entitled to it and yes i feel like a spanish, italian and french accent is much more accurate for 15th century cardinals than a pope having an american accent
@@HistorySpark So everyone has different accents. What's the issue then? LOL No one's accent is "accurate". Not can it be when they are, for starters, speaking English rather than Italian (let alone 15th century Italian)!
@@ginismoja2459 LOL how? Which accent does? British RP? Irish? Scottish? British regional accents? Any other European accent? Why would any of them have any more of a "place in this" than American accent?
I thought Borgia had absolutely horrible acting all around, especially the American guy who played Rodrigo Borgia/ Pope Alexander. I am surprised that I wait all. The Could not compare to the Jeremy irons version
I really liked Borgia much more than the borgias but i totally get what ur saying about the American pope, it just ruined the viewers immersion into the show everytime he would talk, took me ages to eventually get use to it

The events that surround the royal family e.g. Aberfan, were real.
The events of the time intrigued me as I had not heard of some such as Aberfan.
Yes, agreed. Very inaccurate,
McCullough's "John Adams" is a biography, not "a set of novels." The mini-series was indeed superb.
Blowhard
The book John Adams was written by David McCollough. It’s a single book. Elizabeth hated the Crown. She said it was a bunch of lies.
