Being curious about Nietzsche led me to watch this series. Broadly I did enjoy finding out more about the three philosophers, but I would have liked a more detailed exposition of each individual's philosophy.
The Nietzsche episode gave a mix of philosophy and biography, which actually worked well to give each other context. The Heidegge episode focused exclusively on his life (and particularly on his involvement with the Nazi party). This was quite a let-down, and left me with no real idea what it was that he actually philosophised about. The Sartre episode gave a more balanced mix again, showing how his personal philosophy affected the way he lived.
I would recommend watching the Nietzsche and Sartre episodes and ignoring the Heidegge one.
