World War II with Tom Hanks

[Neilster]

I've just started streaming this in Australia and I'm pleasantly surprised. Some have complained that it's American-centric but I expected it to be more so. Hanks is typically excellent as a narrator and the experts are generally very good. There's quite a lot of footage I hadn't seen before and there's some tasteful film restoration and the odd colourised photo. Honestly, no series is going to tell me much about WW2, so the new footage and good photos are appreciated.

If you haven't seen it, give it a go. At 20 episodes, it's long enough to not miss out too much and the analysis is generally solid.
