Once you get past the rather wooden dub it's fantastic, though maybe a little confusing the first time through. When I actually tracked who was who... and I think that was my problem more than the show's... it clicked. The second time through it was just stellar. A magnificent display of Everything is Messed Up. A lot of what feels like clutter... the drug stuff, the smoking, is - like the constant little deals, the semi-bribes, and outright corruption - just another coping strategy for people dealing with a dysfunctional world. And it's the dysfunction, not the flood, that is the story. Though the rising waters are pretty damn cool.
Yeah, the narrator provides ample wft pronunciation choices and enunciates... oddly at times. You can get past it easily.
However, the steady, grinding chronological presentation, the masses of historical video footage, and just the sheer scope of the coverage has made what was always a chaotic mess of information into something I can follow. And the geographical thoroughness of the coverage shows me that my US-centric education never really reflected the true international nature of the war.
Altogether it made me appreciate the sacrifices, the losses, the destruction, and just the sheer awfulness of the war. It doesn't editorialize, it just sets it out inexorably.
