Please summarize for those of us with jobs.

Guy from Norway figures out there is a hidden code in Shakespeare's works and some outraged guy who wrote his thesis on Shakespeare sets out to prove him wrong.

I'd rather not spoil the journey it takes for him and the sceptical historian detractor to get there, or the conclusion they reach because it would spoil it.

It's a really fascinating watch.

Thanks. Might give it a watch. Makes me think of the Narnia code where some guy noticed that each of the Narnia books were related to the planets, noone else noticed in the preceding decades.

Never heard of that one before. Will give it a watch.

He was a dude who wrote plays and sonnets. That's all there was to it.

That's what the uptight sceptic thought too until he spent some time with this guy going over his evidence.

Was fascinating to watch him mentally wrestle with 'coincidence' after 'coincidence' after 'coincidence' and trying to argue with himself that there was nothing to it.

Maybe watch the 3 episodes before judging? You might learn some interesting things.
