I would like to make the case for History on Fire with Daniele Bollelli. He's only a few episodes in but I'm impressed by the quality of the show. He just did an overview of the Roman slave wars, and it was really entertaining. I fact checked some of his more.... interesting claims and he had primary sources supporting most of them, to one degree or another. He's also from Italy and I think his first hand knowledge of the geography provides an interesting perspective.

Note* there is a hint of try-harding to snag some of the Hardcore History audience.
