Quote from Amazon and I have to agree. " Reviewer: RJ Tarr from Wolverhampton, West Mids United Kingdom As a history teacher, I eagerly awaited the launch of this series, but was chronically disappointed. Much of the footage is repeated between the episodes - it is clear that the team coloured in a battle scene, a "bored in the trenches" scene, a "flag waving" scene and all the rest of it - so that they could cut and paste it around the bland narrative. The gravitas with which Branagh speaks is laughable given the brain-dead script. I can't even use this with my 13 year olds. The only enlightening detail is that poison gas apparently turned everyone and everythink flourescent and psychedelic. Dire. " Actually its not as bad as that but there are much better docu of WW1. Honestly if you can afford it buy The Great War. You will not be dissapointed. Very expensive though.
