I only saw one episode but it was pretty horrible.
Some of the experiments were concrete and informative, but then at the end he just "put the data into the computer to run a simulation", whatever that means.
He did that by comparing Short Range Weapons, Medium Range Weapons, Long Range Weapons and then Special Equipment. Except, he compared a bow with a throwing spear (in the long range category) and then compared some mace to... a shield (special equipment category).
In the following simulation by actors you saw a Viking with his shield comfortably *on his back*, running towards a Samurai *wielding a bow*. He only drew his shield when he was faced with the mace, the only one of the Samurai's weapons which could have damaged the shield.
It was ridiculous. For all the cool experiments, this part was so dumb that I'm going to call the show a joke, too.
