– Historians talking directly to the camera and overly emoting
– actors playing real people talkigg by directly to camera and overly emoting sometimes approaching ham territory
– random talking head who isn’t a historian giving a gormless opinion
– narrator overly simplifying everything
that titanic thing tonight was the textbook example. or the civilisation series or any third Reich doc they’ve recently made. I blame YouTube and Tik tok and trying to copy their style.
I like my history DRY!!!
