New History Channel WWI “The Great War”

Hello, I’ve only seen a few bits of this series. It looks like it could be good? Has anyone checked it out yet?

It could have been good, but the reviews I've seen from friends highlight glaring inaccuracies in both information provided and equipage/uniforms.

It was a hot mess on so many levels.  They used so many excellent historians but still managed to screw it up.  What a shame.

That’s unfortunate but I was afraid of this.

I agree unfortunately, though I do think Pershing was portrayed pretty well.

I couldn't hang with it, way to many commercials.  Maybe,  10 minutes of content then broke for a series of 30 - 60 second flashcard commercial, SHAME on ABC.
