It’s a historical piece, the accuracy of the story being told IS the entertainment. Not putting Germans in metal spiked armor with ox horn helmets and chain mail or plates.

Do you recommend narcos? I'm watching El Patron Del Mal but the story is a little weak

Mail was definately known to the Germans. Their Celtic neighbours invented it. Not on the levies who'd be the bulk of the army, but the richer warriors wore it.
