As someone with a graduate degree in history, I can say that if dramas were 100% historically accurate, they probably wouldn't be very successful dramas, especially in the context of pacing everything in a 50-minute episode format. I really don't care that a lot of "historical fiction" is only very loosely inspired by history, as long as people who care understand that. And let's be real, most people don't actually care, because most people aren't reading these books/watching these dramas with the intent of learning about history. Mucking up historical accuracy for the sake of storytelling drama has a very historical precedent, after all.

Of course, on the other hand, I'm all for academics being snide and snooty as a response to "pop history" media. Rarely do we get to be smug show-offs outside of the academic world (and even then), so let 'em have this olive branch. The degree is not good for much else these days, after all.
