So ppl joke about it and all, but has FOX News and their ilk actually said anything about this show yet?

No, they pretty much don't give a poo poo. I think like one dude scoffed about Tyson saying evolution 'was just a fact' doing the whole 'THEN WHY IS IT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION' but the people who were all 'oh god I can't wait, Fox News is gonna just lose their poo poo' were dumb.

The crazy thing is he's not even exaggerating much, Hooke was a fuckin crazy historical figure.

Like, you can argue the degree to which he was a diabolical trifling bitch and all but no one can claim it's an inaccurate title.

Yea after the first episode this one is such a better historical treatment, I'm really happy to see it wasn't falling into that "SCIENCE OR CHURCH PICK ONE" trope.
