Surviving Black Hawk Down is an engaging docuseries because it goes over the Battle of Mogadishu in an amount of detail that most people have never been exposed to before. .... While we generally rail against reenactments, the ones in this series are very well-done, so no complaint from us.

The three episodes are alive to the suffering and cruelty of both sides, while also, particularly in the first episode, making time for the bigger picture and questioning what the Americans were doing there in the first place. It also notes, cleverly, that the Battle occurred at an interesting time in technological terms — this was a pre-mobile phone age.
