World War II: From the Frontlines (2023) Limited Series Review

World War II: From the Frontlines Poster by Netflix

I’m normally not a Fan anymore of World War Two (WW2) these Days since it now happened so long ago, and I have read a lot of Books and seen a lot of Documentaries about it already. But I decided to give this Series a try, and to my Surprise I found it to be quite good. 

What differentiates this Series from the Others before is that they didn’t just “Colorize” the old WW2 Footages, they decided to process and improve them using the latest Technique of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) that was popularized on Social Media Sites like YouTube. 

As a result they were able to improve the Colors, improve the Picture Quality (PQ) and most importantly, increase the Frame Rates to modern Standards so that the Movements of the People and Things onscreen are now a lot more Smooth compared to before. 

They also cropped most of the Footages to the modern Widescreen View compared to the previous Letterboxed View. The Result are Footages that, overall IMHO, are generally better than what was available in the 1980s and 1990s. 

It looked as if the Events only happened Years ago instead of almost eight Decades ago, so this is WW2 as you have probably never seen so before. Now while the enhanced Footages are the main Attraction of this Series, I also like Danny Boyega’s Narration, I think his Voice and Tone were perfect for War Documentaries like these. 

The Structure of the Episodes was also pretty good, there are six Episodes and they allocated approximately one Episode for every one to two Years of the War. 

Overall, a MUST-WATCH for me, especially for Military Enthusiasts. I expect Netflix to do more Documentaries like these with enhanced Footages of the older Wars, it would introduce and make them more accessible to a new Generation while make them more interesting again for the older Generation like us.
