Terrible!
I suffered less than an hour of this word filler, pointless title. The presentation is bad, really bad, but to be fair, the narrator had nothing but terrible content to begin with.
The Joan of Arc story deserves well researched content, not this repetitive stab in the dark word salad meandering rubbish!
