It's not quite on the level of "The World at War", but it's still quite informative and enjoyable to watch. The information given is quite accurate, and the colorization will make it more appealing to the younger generations, which is important, as what happened should never be forgotten.
It does go through a few events a little too quickly, but not everything can be fully explained in the time allotted.
I would definitely put this series on my "must watch" list for any WWII buffs and anyone wanting to learn about and/or broaden their knowledge of the same.
