I watched this yesterday, and in my humble opinion I thought it was very well done. Atrocities by both sides were presented. Maybe it's just me but I didn't see anthing to get excited about.
Thanks Sean -- this post was posted before the series as folks were worried that it would be aChristian bashing feast. Did the show start off by talking about how the Christian lands of Syria, Egypt, North Africa etc. were Christian and slowly converted / persecuted? Did they talk about the persecution of pilgrims to the Holy Land?
