Some good footage within, but had to bail on this series early because the narration is probably the worst I've ever heard. Even though it can be a harrowing watch, especially for those with relatives still in living memory who were caught up in the conflict, the narration simply takes you out of the world. Yes - although this world is a tough one, you still want to be immersed in it.

But the narraration takes you out of it, it simply doesn't fit. The material I saw was OK - more of a beginners guide, but still with some footage that surprises. And if it's a subject that fascinates you, you can put up with repitition. Hopefully someone makes a proper WW2 documentary, with a stronger script and narration that fits the images.

Typical garbage produced in America in 2022. Take episode one - rather than delving into countless deserving women, we are treated to other tangenital subjects. It's the sort of show you expect in 2022 - if you don't fit the bill, if you don't talk politics, if you don't look right, you will be omitted despite your talent and impact. The Shangri-La's, The Ronettes and The Shirelles deserve better, and that's just a small sample of those overlooked in just the first episode.

Going through the episodes and decades, we are shown some deserving women, but the problem is those who are omitted stick out. 95% of worthy women are ignored, or only briefly namechecked. The talking heads aren't up to par, either. It's all substandard - rather than being of a high standard, it's like an idiot's guide. With an emphasis on idiot.
