Review on a tv programme about history

'Behind the rulers' is a tv programme and documentary which explores the lives of the greatest sovereigns in history. There are episodes where it talks about Roman emperors, the British monarchs or France's kings. Though, one I particularly enjoyed is its latest episode on Charles Magnus.
It is mainly based on Eginardo’s biography of Charles' life, showing both the responsibilities and the flaws of having to control a vast empire. It presents the monarch since his birth, having a look at his ancestors and how they affected and formed his way of being. It gives us a better knowledge of society and culture back then, which also explain how the population evolved into its modern form. It pictures Charles character and persona through paintings and manuscripts written by people in his court, just like Eginardo himself.
I found this programme really interesting and captivating, especially for people fascinated by history and the people who made it.

Review onf a tvTV programme about history

- Review ON a TV programme means there was a TV program with a review in it. Review OF a TV programme means there's a review that will discuss a TV show
- TV is always capitalized in English

'Behind the rulers' is a tvTV programme and documentary which explores the lives of the greatest sovereigns in history.

There are episodes where itich talks about Roman emperors, the British monarchs orand Fraence'sh kings.

- which talk is a lot more fluid and nicer sounding sentence that 'which talk about'
- Minor but French kings sounds a little nicer than France's kings but there is technically nothing wrong with it

Though, one episode I particularly enjoyed is itswas their latest episode on Charles Magnus.

- You don't technically need to put 'episode in' but I think the clarity makes it sound better in this context
- They made the TV episode in the past so use was instead of is
- Whenever you are talking about people you will never use it, it will always be his, her or their. Since the people who made the TV show is a group, we use the plural their

It is mainly based on Eginardo’s biography of Charles' life, showing both the responsibilities and the flaws of having tothat come with controlling a vast empire and the drawbacks of such a role.

- When you say showing 'both the responsibilities and the flaws', this sounds weird because you write 'both' but responsibilities and flaws aren't related. Normally you use 'both' when referring to to things that are related i.e 'He highlights both the positives and the negatives', 'She examined both the expenses and the profits'. The word both doesn't add any information (because you right both things after it) when you use it in a sentence, what it does is it adds emphasis. It's like 'There are two things but they aren't just any too things, they are specifically these two things' and the two things should be surprising or interesting in some way otherwise there's no real reason for the emphasis and it just comes across as a little strange. Responsibilities and flaws are not opposites or related to each other so I reworded it a bit. I assume by flaws you meant the negative aspects of the role not the negative aspects of having such a vast empire. If it was negative aspects of having such a vast empire then you could keep it more or less as you had it before just without the 'both' => So something like '...showing the responsibilities and drawbacks of controlling a vast empire'

It presentdetails the monarch's life since his birth, having a looking at his ancestors and how they affectinfluenced and formed his way of beingcharacter.

- presents is kind of like 'shows' but with no explanation or detail. It's like you get to look at it but not in much detail. The verb details means 'show in detail' essentially which for a documentary I presume is more so the case
- reworded somethings to sound a little more fluid
- influenced is a slightly better word then affected here but affected is fine as well
- character is a good word for 'way of being'

It gives us a better knowledgeunderstanding of society and culture back then, which also explains how the population evolved into its modern form.

- understanding = knowledge but not just of events or something but also how everything connects together and relates so it fits better in this context
- I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'how the population evolved into its modern form.' Please comment below so I can try help you make this more clear

It pictures Charles' character and persona through paintings and manuscripts written by people in his court, just like Eginardo himself.

I found tThis programme is really interesting and captivating, especially for people fascinated by history andlike the people who made it.the show and myself

- You can't write a personal opinion and the follow it with 'especially for people ...' because especially is relating the previous phrase to the following phrase but the two are unrelated because other people can't find it fascinating because you find it fascinating. To check your logic, think about it like this, when your write 'x, especially for y', you should always be able to rewrite this in some way with y "because of" x. For example 'I like running, especially for staying healthy' => To stay healthy, I like to run. Both sentences make sense. If you try do the same with your sentence though, it doesn't really make sense: 'I found this programme really interesting and captivating, especially for people fascinated by history' => 'For people who are fascinated by history, I really liked this programme'. Here, it doesn't really matter how you try reword the first or the second part of that sentence, it's a nonsensical sentence because there two ideas don't relate in any capacity. If you change the I to a THIS then you get 'THIS program is really interesting and captivating, especially for people fascinated by history'. If we try reword this to check if it makes sense we get something like 'For people fascinated by history, this program will be really interesting and captivating' and you can see that the logic here makes complete sense, the two ideas are related. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. If you want to practice and write a few example sentences and put them in the comments using 'especially' to connect two phrases, I can double check them for you if you'd like
