Age of Tanks (2017)
10/10
Exceptionally well made.

It does seem odd that tons of documentaries about war have been made, tons more about aircraft...but very few about the tank. Now I'd seen one or two shows here or there about tanks....but cannot remember a single series dedicated just to tanks and tank warfare. Because of this, you can't help but admire the French series "Age of Tanks". But the shows are more than just shows about tanks...they were amazingly well made from start to finish. And, if you don't want to see a show in subtitles, the English language version is excellent as well. Well made, filled with lots of interesting interviews and a show like none others...this is one worth your time.

By the way, do not expect the show to talk about every tank. Many tanks, such as the Japanese tanks of WWII, more modern tanks like the Swedish S and many others are not discussed. I don't think this is a weakness of the show...after all, the series only consists of four episodes. Based on that time constraint, the producers did a great job.
