Not for the impatient, this 4 part series is designed for viewers who are willing to listen to everything that is said.
Ideas about atrocities, crimes against humanity, and what is acceptable in war-making are presented throughout. Always in the background: the Nuremberg Trials and how posterity will view the trial and the judges.
Production values are top-notch but never over the top. There's a very clever interpolation of actual courtroom newsreel footage with scenes from this show -- very good set and color matching.
This is a show about ideas and about how the winners view morality and their roles in defining what is and is not acceptable in warfare.
Recommended.
