The Liberator

I don't mind the filters as long the story is good. The story is Great!

Band of Brothers had a $180 million budget in 2020 dollars. This quite obviously, did not.

The filter allows settings to be animated in, CGI vehicles, explosions, etc -- makes the entire miniseries possible. And I'd rather have the story than not, animation and all.

Besides, within 10 minutes of the first episode, I no longer noticed it. Eventually I found it interesting. Great story, engrossing binge, especially for military genre fans and WWII buffs.

Anyone who commented about the filter being the reason they bailed 10-15 minutes into the first of a four episode series, is a simpleton, full-stop. It's like someone bailing on Team America, because they used puppets.

Does it take getting used to? Sure. It takes approximately 5-10 minutes, to do so-as you can see from those reviewers who aren't basic AF

The (true) story is great-and one I hadn't heard about, before. That's enough reason to watch.

So, in summary:

• great story
• interesting approach to the war-genre
• four episodes isn't a huge time investment
• don't listen to simpletons

It reminded me of band of brothers, yes the filter is distracting at first but you'll definitely get drawn into it if you give it a chance. Definitely worth a watch and one of the better shows I've seen on Netflix in awhile. 9/10 because the story was great but I did knocked down one because the filter is distracting at first or it would've easily been a 10/10

Yes. There's an filter over the live action. Does it make it worse or ruin it? No. It's bizarre to me that people can't see through the effect and it bothers them that much. There are some really basic people on this that will have you believe this isn't a great mini series. If you like this style of effect check out "a scanner darkly"
