Forbidden History (2013– )
Unwatchable if you have a brain AND cannot find this amusing
23 October 2017
Pseudo-historic, non-scientific sensationalist garbage where non-experts, non-intellectual spew their garbage. Most of the times I avoid them but just today I decided to give them a chance because there was a topic about a famous German executioner Johann Reichhart, a person with an interesting story I was familiar with. I expected the episode to be over the top, wild, sensationalist and so I prepare myself to endure some stupid statements. But...I couldn't force myself to watch this for more than five minutes. Right from the start, they wanted to present this man as one of the worst monsters that ever lived, they instantly switched to Hitler's era and let mostly average but disturbingly uneducated people to drag on with their wild claims and stupid ideas about how life in Germany was during that time (who cares?. I stopped watching after a woman with bellow-average intelligence started making one irrelevant and silly statement after another with no end in sight. If Hitler's isn't involved, then it isn't interesting, right? 1 star for demonizing a man who had the most unpleasant job ever during a time where such a job was normal (in most of the world) and the method of execution the most humane option available. He didn't deserve it.
