For much of this series there seemed to be loud machine gun fire most of the time when no machine guns were to be seen. There was also often too loud background music so that the narrators voice was almost inaudible and even the subtitles were no help as they would just tell you that he was mumbling. The narrator did mumble a bit too. He also couldn't pronounce the name Amiens correctly.
Much footage was repeated several times.
Very many important historical points about this war were completely overlooked or barely mentioned. For example no credit given to Lloyd George for converting the UK into a wartime economy. Only brief mention of the push begun at Amiens and no mention at all of the 100 day push. There was far too much made of the US contribution to the war effort. As a historical account it scores very low.
