The colorisation of archived footage is really done well. Similar things have been done before, but not quite on this level.
Yes, the narrative is very basic / introductory, but for some audiences (eg school students) this will be perfect. It doesn't need to be advanced to be a good documentary.
For me, the real attraction and power of this series is the way it brings the war to life. It must have taken a lot of work to optimise the footage in terms of speed, colour and frame rate. The outcome is better than any remastering I've seen before. The overall flow of the documentary is good, and the way the story is interspersed with commentary from veterans or civilians works well.
