The low score of some reviewers seems like it's addressing Classical music connoisseurs and experts. For a beginner like myself, who knows very little or nothing about Mozart and some of his masterpieces, their musical meaning and composition it's a tutorial in appreciating Classical music from one the best composer that lived. Mozart life story seems a mess and the movie Amadeus (7/10) showed some of it in a humorous way, which I enjoyed very much especially when the Emperor says "There is Too many notes, just take some out" 😊. This documentary takes a more factual route about the life of Mozart and I learned so much about the man, his genius and his masterpieces which I started to listen to more closely. Having attended a Mozart orchestral concert at Sydney Opera House I now know I would have enjoyed it more if I watched this documentary before the concert. 8/10.

At the risk of being seen as a NAZI sympathiser I'm writing this as one the best documentary (3 x Episodes) that take an even handed approach to Hitler and his men who are perhaps some of the most hated people in recent history.

The documentary seeks to answer the question: How did Hitler, whose NAZI Party (National Socialist) never gained the votes of much more than a third of the German electorate in a free election, manage to win the support of the overwhelming majority of the German people?

Germans came, after January 1933, to support Hitler because of their belief that he had brought to an end the hardships of the Great Depression and the humiliations which the country had suffered at Versailles Armistice. Having fallen prey to his "fatal attraction," they were prepared, to support him in his goals of eliminating the Jews and establishing a German Empire with a population of 200 million. Thankfully this never came to pass, sadly many innocent people paid with their lives. I learned so much more from this documentary than any other I've watched. 10/10.
