WWII in Color: Road to Victory

Just finished the riveting WWII in Colour with a distinguished voice the whole time. The basic narrative voice we're all used to for many a year in these serious docs. I turn this one on rearing to go and I am immediately am so annoyed I had to turn it off for a moment. I'm sitting here listening to this feminine mans nasally SSSSSSSssssssss lisp and is raking my nerves. This is a voice for Top Model or some kind of dumb reality show. This voice is a man who seems to be the complete opposite voice I connect to this MANLY serious topic. Sounds like hes smiling and having a great narrating something he knows nothing about. Bad move. Terrible move. I took a 10 down to 6 for this. Ooppss this was a woman's voice I just looked her up. Well. I still hear it the same way.

Whoever is narrating sounds like they are a radio DJ smiling as they speak, which doesn't really fit when they are describing Nazi atrocities. They need to get someone like Brian Cox to do it, that would be a great improvement.

The narrator sounds like Carmen Ghia from the Producers, lithp, SssssSsssSssss and all. He totally ruins what would otherwise be a great documentary! I'm not sure if this is because he is French, or has some schadenfreudlich joy at the Nazi atrocities but they need someone to re-narrate this for posterity.

This is a near 10 in terms of docu-series. The videos, interviews, and stories are all top notch. My only gripe here would have to be the atrocious narration. The previous docu-series "Greatest WW2 Events in Color" had a MUCH better narration. That one deserved a 10/10. It's a shame they didn't go with the same because this could've been just as good.

Wonderful documentary with great footage and a must see, however the narration is almost unbearable. Even after a few hours of watching it you will still not get used to it. But the doc itself is awesome. K.
