Het Verhaal van Vlaanderen plot

This provides an accessible picture of the entire history of Flanders, from the moment the first inhabitants settled in our regions until now, using the latest scientific insights into this history, from about 38,000 years ago to the present. Both the golden mountains and the black pages, which span all provinces and all sections of society, appear in this story. But this series is primarily a story of people. Great, illustrious figures and ordinary people who walked here before us; who, just like us now, tried to build a life here, with all the challenges that came with it.

Het Verhaal van Vlaanderen season 1

Historians and other specialists will of course find the series disproportionate: waltzing on important events and overquoting others or misquoting them.
Still, the series captivated me. it's simple and folksy and takes what we learned in school and adds a lot of extras.
Telling everything in 10 episodes of 50 minutes is of course impossible and presenter-narrator Tom Waes readily admits this several times.
Agree that the reenacted scenes are sometimes a bit bland and that in the last episode there is a bit too much Tom-Waes-Story, but such a figure of speech where an example applies to the whole is often spot on and illustrates once again the folksy of the series.
I would give a 3.5, but the set-up and the good intentions of the series, which made me curious and captivated with every episode, tell me: a 4 is in order.
