There oughta be a law


that all series and movies that say they are based on a true story or on history should need to follow the actual facts ... if they have actual real characters in them.

Are they following the books pretty closely, though? I haven't read them. Maybe the showrunners and producers are sticking to historical inaccuracies already authored by somebody else...?

There must be a certain amount of wiggle room, too, in a fiction, surely?

reply

A certain amount.
