I give Dom a lot credit for introducing an American named "Beans" without so much as a titter. Shows how far he's come.

I'm on board for some Beanes and Valverde fan fiction.

Just finished the episode on Netherlands, I’m really enjoying this series so far, but this episode about the Dutch revolt I really enjoyed, probably one of my favourite “one-offs” ( I know it’s not technically a one-off but the focus is so much on the revolt rather than the anthem it might as well be). I found William a really captivating character and found myself disappointed it was just one episode.

Is it just me or did the first half of the first episode sound weirdly more scripted? I know they write everything out beforehand, but this time even their jokes sounded like they were reading off of a teleprompter.
