Good documentary series, but not worth watching for several weeks on Netflix. It would be really solid if important historical documentaries had a single solid narrator (Peter Coyote/Martin Sheen) and not a constant trope of random academics giving their two senses as if they were firsthand witnesses.
Above all, documentaries like this need to get rid of the constant 10-second frames of random individual men and women in a semi-dark room talking when they can just continue with the interesting footage or recreations they already have. This documentary series has a lot of unique footage and decent recreations, but it's ruined by the constant random guy/girl sitting with their legs crossed with a red curtain behind them.
Stars: Károly Kozma, Erik Gyercán, Balázs Kató
The tones of the speakers' voices are a bit whiny/annoying and there seems to be a lot of personal opinions given without the speakers indicating that what they were saying was actually an opinion. If I see them again, I would write them, but I probably won't see them again. If I do, it will be worth watching with the subtitles on and the volume muted.
Lastly, I understand that WWII and Hitler cover tons and tons of information, but it's hard to understand how big events are just whispered about but then focused on smaller events and really blowing them up. Not a word is mentioned about the “Danzig Corridor”. There's a lot of jumping around, but this is really a cliff notes version of a lot of things, at best.
