First the good... Good reenactments within an obviously limited budget, and the decision in this production to keep the interviewer behind the camera worked well.
Story selection was good when choosing stories with details not widely known. At least half the episodes revolve around crimes, murders & murderers who are then presented as a badge of honor - not sure if we should be 'toasting" them? Casting the story net even wider in future episodes would be great. Science, technology, engineering, literature, race relations, international relations, flora/fauna (I'm not counting "Emu Wars") etc, etc, etc. - give crime & sport a rest in series 2 please.
Choosing hosts who have become "celebrities" in the past for poor behavior when drunk just looks like they were hoping for guaranteed drunk footage from a professional, when the punters prefer seeing how amateur hosts behave in this situation.
Worth watching, and will hopefully mature well with any second series.
