Rating:  - More of a social history...
While extremely well made and presented, this documentary series is more of a social history of world war one than a military one. The series focuses on the personal effects of the war with very little focus on the military history. Entire sections of episodes are given over to narration recreating personal diaries and accounts.

Rating:  - Fantastic insight on an often overlooked war
The First World War is an interesting documentary that offers much to those who know little about the war(and certainly much to scholars of the war). I couldn't stop watching once I started.

Rating: - A Peach!
If your a WW1 buff you'll really enjoy this series. Not the end of the rainbow but a good solid overview nicely presented.

Rating: - DVD, is the gem!
If you've seen is on PBS or the military channel you know why it's perhaps the most important break down of events in the past century and while it doesn't cover WWII it explains it's roots, the cold war and the basis for issues in the world today. Outstandingly done history that you wish was how other things were presented. Better than perhaps Ken Burns' civil war series.
