    Not bad but it clearly tells a half story in many key elements, like forgeting Israel and the US support as a major issue for the muslims to hate the US or the role of the US in creating the current Iran and how that has shaped the region and terrorism ever since.
    And from there it doesn't get any better in cherrypicking to ignore some events.

    Though occasionally dry, the docuseries’ sober tone also makes for a welcome refuge from the sea of maudlin or faux-suspenseful 9/11 content elsewhere.

    "Turning Point" sets up the events of 9/11 in a far more routine way, although the ultimate objective of the five-part series -- tracking the motives of the 9/11 perpetrators not just to the 1993 bombing and its attendant plots, but as far back as the 1980s -- is a far different one [than National Geographic's "9/11: One Day in America."]

    It feels like Turning Point takes a half-measure, going over that day in some detail but glossing over what truly made it horrifying to the people who lived through it or people like us, who were just in the tri-state area. ... If you’re interested in either a 9/11 documentary or a War on Terror documentary, there are better ones out there than Turning Point: 9/11 And The War On Terror, which tries to go into both in depth and accomplishes very little that’s new.
