WWII in Color: Road to Victory

This is a near 10 in terms of docu-series. The videos, interviews, and stories are all top notch. My only gripe here would have to be the atrocious narration. The previous docu-series "Greatest WW2 Events in Color" had a MUCH better narration. That one deserved a 10/10. It's a shame they didn't go with the same because this could've been just as good.

Just finished the riveting WWII in Colour with a distinguished voice the whole time. The basic narrative voice we're all used to for many a year in these serious docs. I turn this one on rearing to go and I am immediately am so annoyed I had to turn it off for a moment. I'm sitting here listening to this feminine mans nasally SSSSSSSssssssss lisp and is raking my nerves. This is a voice for Top Model or some kind of dumb reality show. This voice is a man who seems to be the complete opposite voice I connect to this MANLY serious topic. Sounds like hes smiling and having a great narrating something he knows nothing about. Bad move. Terrible move. I took a 10 down to 6 for this. Ooppss this was a woman's voice I just looked her up. Well. I still hear it the same way.

This TV series is a vivid and engrossing exploration of WWII. Through the lens of detailed commentary and captivating historical footage, it covers the war's major turning points with depth and clarity. The application of colourisation techniques serves to elevate the series further, infusing the archival footage with an extra layer of engagement.

Although it's not without its critics, who have highlighted some historical inaccuracies and a perceived US-centric bias, the series shines in its broad coverage of key global events. This aspect, in my view, constitutes its most significant strength, offering viewers a sweeping overview of this monumental period.

Despite these noted imperfections, the series holds immense appeal for anyone interested in WWII. The successful blend of educational insight and compelling storytelling it offers makes it a rich and rewarding viewing experience, delivering both knowledge and entertainment in equal measure.

Whoever is narrating sounds like they are a radio DJ smiling as they speak, which doesn't really fit when they are describing Nazi atrocities. They need to get someone like Brian Cox to do it, that would be a great improvement.

First time I have ever reviewed abything on IMBD, but the narrator sounds incredibly cheeky, almost jovial while describing one of the worst wars known to mankind. Would be nice if they remade it with the same narrator as last time.
