The production is excellent without modern reenactments or talking head interviews. They make extensive use of archival footage including silent movies shot after the war ended. I'm four episodes in and only one of them focused on the Western Front. There's been a lot of interesting material about the war in Africa and the sorties of the German fleet after getting chased out of China.
