It was fine. A lot of the language was inappropriate for the time period. It felt like they had a lot of ideas but weren’t sure how to execute them in a cohesive manner. Much of the historical events mentioned just felt thrown in   In an attempt to be impactful, but fell flat. The base idea was cool, and could’ve been great. Just needed a little more time to let the ideas simmer and flow.
