Spycraft

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.

Some interesting content let down by the narrator sounding like he can't be bothered and the captions that give facts on terminology flash up so fast, you only get to read the first line without pausing the program.

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.

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.

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.
