Very good 6 part documentary series on most of the major events of WW2, narrated by John Boyega and utilising original film footage colorised to really bring the imagery to life. This aspect works very well mostly - the events and the horror feel that much closer than the grainy black and white we're used to seeing.
The narration is adequate and tells the story well, yes there are some inaccuracies and some film footage clearly does not match the narration but overall it works well in telling the story as whole of these brutal 6 years of a world tearing itself apart.
There are better series out there, notably World at War narrated by the late, great Laurence Olivier but this one does the job and as said, the colorisation of the film really does bring an added element and makes this a worthwhile addition to the numerous accounts of this period in history and the lessons that should never be forgotten...
