Visually Impressive But Lacking Passion
25 February 2018
While this series is visually impressive and the historical interpretation interesting, it lacks passion. The biggest problem is with the narration. There is no gravitas or authority to the narrator and while the pronunciation of relevant locations and personalities is well done, it's lackluster otherwise. One recalls the wonderful Robert Ryan's narration of the CBS documentary from the 60's, "The First World War." Now, there was emotion, feeling, and passion.
