No honey, you don't have to record any more of them.

Big history fan.

Big Patton fan.

Big fan of trying something different.

NOT a big fan of people who can't control their urges to colorize, pixelize, and otherwise "-ize" every single frame. Map coordinates going on forever. Narrator's faces spliced up in quick cuts. The same CGI shown over and over (wasn't too good the first time). The cribbing of Goldsmith's theme (pay for it for cryin' out loud so you don't have to "almost" use the music).

I did like the dissection of the tactics and concentrating on elements that don't always get attention, but the "look at me, I have a computer" enhancements made me cringe. A few (very few) of these effects were interesting, but this show was relentless.
