Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for the curious and history buffs.
The mood
Intense, eye-opening.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 52 minutes, about 4 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Colorized historical footage in ascending order of World War 1. Not only the relatively known Flanders and France battles, but also the generally unknown Italian-Austrian, German-Polish-Russian, Japanese-German, Ottoman Empire- Allied and African German Colonies, and other unknown or forgotten fronts and battles.
