## Resource

From lavish costumes and dramatic romances to wildly inaccurate timelines and completely unhinged plot twists, historical television gives us plenty to talk about. In this episode of Off the Record , we dive into some of our favorite historical TV series and discuss what they get right, what they get terribly wrong, and the moments that leave historians everywhere screaming at their screens. From brilliant casting and unforgettable storytelling to scenes so ridiculous they deserve an award of their own, nothing is off limits in this chat about the best — and worst — of historical television. -- Hosts: Rebecca Larson & Amy McElroy
