I agree with you! It had so much potential but the actual show was pretty blah. I did appreciate the production values! It was a really interesting setting too.
I'm not the biggest expert on the time period, but I thought at least the panic about a Catholic plot was accurate, even if in fact there was no Catholic plot, the people wanted someone to blame and it was convenient to funnel their fear to the Catholics.
You're right, there was a lot of fear and paranoia about the Catholics, but I thought the plot in The Great Fire was too 'big' and detracted from the actual fire.
