Season 1 Review: A Smithsonian Channel documentary sizzling with breaking news broadcasts, pictures and commentaries seldom if ever included in previous documentaries. The result is quite simply spine-tingling, and that tingling grows steadily stronger. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The program consists of just clips and still images with an occasional caption. No academics in office-chair interviews interpret things for you. No survivors grow weepy while dredging up their decades-old memories. No narration intrudes. The idea is to come closer to putting you in the historical moment, to give you a sense of what people experienced and felt at the time. It works quite well for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
