Innovative approach to history isn't very diverse.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this documentary-style program looks back at history through the lens of important individuals and technology. Many of the episodes focus on wars and battles and feature both real-life footage and dramatizations of warfare -- including dropping bombs on cities and pulling dead bodies from the front lines. Pro-war messages (and others that some might consider propaganda) are embedded in some episodes. Most figures profiled are white males; no special effort seems to be made to expand the series to include more diversity.
Violence:
Lots of battle scenes, including real and dramatized footage. Rare dead bodies, though no obvious blood. Featured "machine" is often a weapon -- gun, catapult, bomber plane, etc.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Occasional "hell" and "damn."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
