It hit early, so the bullshit was largely overlooked as standard hollywood bullshit, and "mary sues". The full court press, and nonstop inundation of "the message" hadn't fully caught on. so we didn't realize we were under attack of a propaganda machine at that point.

That said, with how bad much of television is today. it might still be welcomed. most tv is JUST propaganda. this was decent tv mixed with propaganda.
Even if I noted my issues with it back then too.

Would never be made today. White protagonists with no race swaps for the main historical characters. The girlbosses are still feminine and shown as women. People bitched about the female leads back when the show was airing. Oh boy, that's nothing compared to what you'd get for characters today. FOH didn't know how good they had it.
