I know of a single historian who still uses the Dark Ages and no one agrees with him, how the hell is this the takeaway?

Dark Ages is not widely used any more, so I don't even know what this is about.

Reading through this thread it seems to me that it doesn’t properly reckon with the dangerous white nationalism and imaginary “Anglo-Saxon” white past that the show puts on display.

Yes. I get that people will like it for various reasons and that's fine, but a responsible viewing as scholars means we gotta address these things too or we aren't doing our jobs properly.
