Making History

Dan Churchill, a history nerd and computer science grad, discovers a time travel method that uses the "Journal of Alternate Realities." He travels back to the 1770s with his best friend, Chris, to meet famous historical figures. However, their attempts to change the past, particularly by trying to prevent a betrayal of Paul Revere, lead to unintended and chaotic consequences that drastically alter the course of American history. The series follows their increasingly absurd misadventures as they try to fix the timelines they've broken.

Making History received mixed to positive reviews from critics, who often praised its unique premise and comedic performances, particularly from Adam Pally. However, some found the show's humor to be hit-or-miss and the plot convoluted at times, leading to its short run.

• Praised for its inventive concept and Adam Pally's comedic timing.
• Criticized for inconsistent humor and a sometimes muddled plot.
• Noted for its ambitious attempt to blend historical figures with modern comedic sensibilities.

Google audience: Audience reviews generally found the show to be a fun and quirky concept with some laugh-out-loud moments. While many appreciated the effort to be original, a common sentiment was that the execution didn't always live up to the high concept, leading to a feeling that it could have been more consistently funny or cohesive.

The show's premise is inspired by the 1997 novel of the same name by L. Neill Smith, though the television adaptation takes significant creative liberties.
