The TV show is far from fact. the underlying story in Vagwat Geeta and Mahabharat might have been true, but not all the details.
These epics spans through generations, from first king Manu to Pandavas. No one person (say Ved Vyas) could have witnessed and written down such a story. It has also been hypothesized that the phrase "Ved Vyas" was a title for storywriter. There could have been several Ved Vyas covering different generations (assuming the epics are based on fact). It is very likely that the actual story was exaggerated.
Talking about archeological evidence, they have found Dwarika burried under a town in Gujrat. Not 1 not 2 but 10 of them burried, one on top of another. !!! suggesting several cycles of civilization and destruction.
