Historical Accuracy?

We were planning on watching this but I can see that PBS's production team was more interested in pushing random messages instead of being historically accurate. We watched a bit of this and there's a couple of people that are ridiculously out of place. Thanks, but no thanks.

I recommend watching 2002's The Forsyte Saga, starring Damian Lewis. The casting department for that series did a fantastic job.

You've reached the end.
