Without a doubt, Dan Jones, who is both a genius story teller & gripping presenter, gives as thorough a history as possible given the format. I love how he's able to give context to a fairly straightforward biography so that the viewer ends up not only knowing about the Plantagenets but the world they both shaped & were shaped by.
My only "gripe" is that this doesn't cover Richard I as much as I would like or the 3rd Crusade. While it does feel like a pretty large miss, what he does present is absolutely top-notch. Dan Jones fills in the gaps in the historical record better than anyone. Like anything he's done, must watch.
