    I’ve been watching the docu-series ‘World War II with Tom Hanks’. It is a very compelling story about all of WWII, and most especially of the duplicity, horrors, and the Holocaust by the Nazis, and Hitler’s personal behavior. I see comparisons to the Chump regime in all of it. All should watch it.

    World War II with Tom Hanks is not ... great. Very shallow analysis and no real insights from weirdly mixed bag of talking heads. Watch the masterful ITV series from 1974 - The World At War - instead.

    I watched the first couple of episodes of “World War II with Tom Hanks”. I was left asking why we need this documentary series when “The World at War” was so comprehensive and thorough. It’s omits an awful lot and seems very watered down. Bit disappointing to be honest. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    World War II with Tom Hanks is filled with outdated and biased information, it’s polished with upscaled and cleaned up footage that’s the primary reason to watch, overall disappointing.

    I'm watching "World War II with Tom Hanks". In the first episode, he's describing Hitler's rise after WWI. Replace the name "Hitler" with "The Orange Demon" and he's describing modern day America. Of course, Hitler had military experience, the other thing has none.

    A couple weeks in and I have to say that while World War II with Tom Hanks isn't groundbreaking or even particularly innovative, it does scratch an itch for 90's History Channel content that is serviceably fine. And it's nice to see Dan Carlin getting paid.

    Really been enjoying the "World War II with Tom Hanks" series. He does a great job as the narrator, and they cover a lot of topics that are often skipped. While I have my nits to pick it's probably the best semi-detailed overview of the entire war since... I dunno, 1973's "World at War" series?

    If you've been watching "World War II with Tom Hanks" and you're a Canadian, you may like to watch "Fight to the Finish". It's about the role of Canadian troops in World War II. There are interviews with many survivors. We aren't overly emphatic in our patriotism, but we love this country 🇨🇦.

    Anyone who's been watching World War II with Tom Hanks or otherwise knows history knows that Stalin purged nearly all of his top generals and admirals in the late 1930s and by 1942, the Nazis were outside Moscow. That's what Drinky Pete is sending the US.

    If you haven’t listened to Noiser’s D-Day series, you really should, it’s great. Much better than the History Channel’s ‘World War II with Tom Hanks’ because: 1. It introduces the historians by name, every time 2. Hanks’ series is *very* American 3. Paul McGann pronounces Adolf correctly.

    I'm not saying 'World War II with Tom Hanks' didn't need to consider providing accessible coverage of the most impactful war in history for a new generation, but, for a series of 20 40 minute episodes, spending just 10-12mins on the Holocaust seems a little...pathetic?
