I do enjoy this as a drama it's fast paced and always interesting. I know a lot of it is even true from when they cracked the code to her hundreds of diaries just a few years ago much in the program is what she put down in code in her diaries at the time. So if it shocks many today goodness knows what people thought over 200 years ago. What I find a bit unsettling is her rather horrible manipulation of others to bend them to her sexual needs. I note the Guardian loves this and gives it 5 stars but if it was a male sexual predator instead of a female for that's what she is a sexual predator they would utterly hate it I'm sure. So somewhat double standards in many reviews. Yes she can be seen as a female trailblazer but she isn't a particularly pleasant one.
