This should have been a grand affair, reminiscint of Band of Brothers and The Pacifc, both epic WW2 series. I delayed this review until the expectations of the mammoth advertising build-up subsided.
The writers breached conventional wisdom by eliminating almost all character development, reducing roles to barely two dimensions like the cardboard actor cutouts on the floor of now deceased Blockbuster Video. Also the introduction to each episode has too much time devoted to declaring upcoming epic majesty while serving up lukewarm fare. Add to that each ends about 7 minutes early and resorts to slim previous of the next episode.
I can only think that they sacrificed character development to meet a budget. Any other reason is less that forgivable.

So-called expert Christine Hannah ruins the show. If she is an "expert" you can add being a boring expert at reading on camera, never looking at it, and even misarticulating a few words here and there. The producers of this series had a good concept but i don't know why they didn't pull this commentator. A crash test dummy has more personality and character after it impacts the test wall than this person. I thing single-handedly she tanked the show and there are no more seasons.
Also, after returning from every commercial break, they recap events for two to three minutes, which just fills time needlessly and makes it even more ploddingly boring.
