L'art de l'espionnage

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.

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.

Everyone else has already said this but if for some reason you see this review before the others, the narration of this show sounds like a high school senior project. It's really bad. Having said that, it's actually an extremely interesting topic and is presented quite well. I recommend. My recommendation means nothing. Thank you. That is all.

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.

The narrator mispronounces so many names and terms that it makes enjoying the actual content very difficult. The content is interesting and put together very well, but the narrator ruins most of it.
