Also, any time I watch a war related documentary now I think of this:
It's so true
It's so true

quote:I learned one thing from those three hours... the Molatov visit to Germany. I hated how they skipped around. They went through the invasion of Poland and then backtracked to cover the treaty between Stalin and Hitler. Monday is Pearl Harbor. After promoting the series as stressing things not covered in decades, they're blowing past the embargo and diplomacy. E04 should be about the build up to Pearl Harbor with E05 covering new ground (the Japs missing the carriers/the breakdown of communication at the top of the DOW/the sailors who just spent all night with the ladies).
Was anybody else watched the first three episodes so far? It’s been ok but I have seen better. I am wondering how they how they are gonna do 20 parts for this. They are already on the siege of Britain by episode 2.
If E04-06 are a repeat of E01-03, all of the build up to this was complete bullshite. Just the same stories with a famous movie star narrating. The EP credits on this makes Jon Meacham an absolute joke of an unbiased "historian".

Yeah...I've seen mixed reviews about this. I feel like The World at War is a much better series. Not only that, instead of talking heads, you actually get first person accounts because the witnesses were still alive to be interviewed.

That is sort of my concern with this. 20 episodes is a fricking TON, and a hell of a time commitment. And apparently I missed that it came out this past weekend, and I'm already three episodes behind.
I still have the KB WWII doc sitting in my living room waiting to watch it. Is this new one something that should be required viewing for someone into history, or is it just another WWII doc..?

You saying this while crying about someone else’s opinion in this thread is peak.

Seems like WWII has been well covered already. What more is there to say?

Definitely not required viewing so far. There has been nothing new that I can remember. It is just ok.
