“William is a real historian, while Anita is a lay person who tends to fall back on uninformed, simplistic tropes. You can hear her desire to move on when he attempts to deliver correction or insight (for instance, in an early episode in which she attempts to cast pre-British India as a somewhat idealized, unified sort of place, which prompts William to get into the many political, cultural and economic divisions it experienced). It does get in the way at times. But still a pretty good show thus far.”
