Spionaggio: i trucchi del mestiere

The content of the show is really cool, very well put together and interesting. If you're into espionage and 007 stuff, you'll like it. I just don't give it a 10 because they made a really, really poor choice on the narrator. It makes it look like a cheap production, like i'm watching an youtube channel nobody likes.

Fascinating content and experts. Really well done screen graphics, except not enough time to read definitions. Narration is terrible! He mispronounces names and words, even directly after an expert has pronounced them. He often emphasizes the wrong words, and often seems like he's ending a sentence, then says more words. Poor vocal quality, too.

I absolutely cannot tolerate the narrator. He mispronounces everything, will say the same word three different ways. Why didn't anyone edit this more carefully? It's an interesting shoe but comes across very unprofessional because of the narrator.

If you've read any books on spies and espionage, then most of it is repetitive. It's one of those series that would have been fine with four or five episodes and not eight. The new technology in use was interesting, modern espionage is mostly technology from the agent to the agency heads. The one expert we see most of the time is Keith Melton a historian who is very good.

Like the others mentioned, the narration is poor. The narrator strains his voice, he didn't check pronunciation of words and names so it sometimes differs from the experts who are talking. And it was apparent that he didn't practice to get the correct intonation. Narration is a big part of the series and a poor narrator ruins the viewing.

I loved the History Channel docs on topics like War, Intelligence and History in general. Sadly, they got into UFO's and reality TV. So I had hope for this doc series on Netflix. However, it feels like a cheap imitation. The anecdotes are pretty fascinating but there's never any time spent on any of it. There's lots of stock footage used which makes it feel cheap and thrown together like a YouTube video. The saving grace are the interviews. However, they are cut short and you are left with anything but a hint at an interesting story. I really wanted to like this but there must be better docs on this subject out there.
