When I first heard of this series I wasn't sure I wanted to see it as I'm personally more interested in WW2 and not very much WW1 history.
So far it's actually more about WW2. It only goes into WW1 a bit to touch on the progression of events and key figures that have a big role in WW2 such as Hitler (obviously), also Patton, MacArthur, Winston Churchill, etc., in a compelling chronological format.
The dramatic documentary is very well produced with high production value and quality, and the reenactments are well done too.
Have to take a point off however for the blunder of having the episode start off with Barack Obama stoically reading some speech off a teleprompter talking about the importance of the wars, etc. A spit in the face to the people that actually fought and died for freedom from a sociopathic politician that is actively plotting and trying to take freedom away (from USA citizens). To compare him with a leader that actually had some backbone like Churchill is shameful and ludicrous. Was this supposed to be some sort of irony to compare one socialist (Hitler) to the modern one? Makes me question if the writers of this story really understood how Germany's war came about at a deep enough level. Just fast forward through the first 50 seconds and pretend it never happened.
At any rate if you are a WW2 fan, or otherwise a person who likes to study war and the politics behind it then you will like the episode.
