If you love drama, theatres, films, arts, history and all that you know that this version is a brilliant piece of artistic work, not a historical work. The scriptwriter is a billiant playwright, very obviously. John Lone has a Tony, and same as Jeremy, and you have a very talented Director. What the Director wants to show is that he is doing a very "new angle" that history has missed out, and you don't get that unless you watch them very carefully of how each of the most talented individual in their own rights is adding a very subtle "new edge" about the true story that has happened in the past. I would rather think the future viewers of our next generation will get it. Don't write it off yet. It's more than sci-fi.
