WWII in HD.
I've been watching since 10am, I'm on part eight now. This 10-part documentary is amazing. Other than the incredible footage, I love the way it's presented: you follow the stories of many different soldiers from many different theaters, and it's all chronological (as far as I can tell), which really helps with perspective. It's amazing to see footage of an explosion shake a reporter's camera on a little Pacific island, then see what looks like, and is supposed to be, the same explosion from the air. Incredible work must have gone into the editing.
Some of the imagery is truly horrifying, though. Most definitely not for the squeamish.

I've seen part of it, but have not seen the whole thing. History Channel sent an e-mail to me saying I could pre-order the DVD of the show, so I did. What I've seen has been really good.

I've recorded most of the series but not watched any yet. Glad to hear it is a quality production.

Just 20 minutes left. Good God, it's really brutal at times. It just puts it out there, it doesn't preach, it doesn't even try to moralize, really.

I'm in the process of putting it to DVD. I've seen about half and it was excellent. An old school documentary. None of the 5 minute recaps of the last 10 minutes.
