Enjoyed this a lot but…
Really enjoyed this but the re-enactments were a bit overdone and I was instantly distracted by the fact they are clearly British actors doing quite terrible American accents (and a video of Lamar on YouTube shows he didn’t speak with that weird breathy affectation either). I would have loved more interviews with contemporaries rather than often just quoting Lamar’s book (in said terrible accent). Maybe it’s why I liked the final episode the best. There must be more survivors who knew him - it was the 60s, not the 1800s - or at least descendants or family of those involved? On YouTube with one search I found someone saying Lamar is his/her great uncle, and there must be more family given he had several brothers and sisters. But clearly there was a lot of research involved and overall the pacing and story is well done.

Fascinating story, but let down by the cheesy reenactments.

Intelligent presentation, good story and insights. The large number of bad reviews is inexplicable.

The dramatic readings made me laugh out loud many times, reminded me of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, which I don’t think they were going for, it ruined an interesting story.
