Each episode has a theme: power, speed, armour etc and covers 'the best' for that theme. The selections are ok, but often forced to fit the theme. The coverage of each military asset is from light to very light. Some of the 'experts' are questionable- Rory Reid minion of Top Gear is one of them!!!! Sometimes, in the many footage sequences representing whatever asset they're talking about, usually a plane, the wrong planes are used! 'The F/A 18 Hornet has awesome firepower' - while they show you a F 14 doing a roll... A mediocre documentary, light on facts. More like a promotion for joining the military, aimed at undiscerning 16 year olds.
