You're wanting the kind of sterile, scientific, boring approach to history that turned me off to it in school. Dan Carl8n approaches it in a more philosophical way. Each series starts off with a question, and then he attempts to answer it through telling a story about a historical event. It's teaching through parables, but the parables are deeply rooted in history. So yeah, if you're looking for a history textbook, this isn't your guy. But if you're looking for some great thought provoking story telling, then Hardcore History is really great.

Out of the others you listed, History of Rome has been my favorite. He is more of the textbook type, but he keeps it interesting and light.
