I cannot believe this is called a "documentary."
I was way too distracted by the over dramatization, fake shots, and special effects to be able to enjoy any part of this series.
Some cool shots, but this is more of a "look at my special effects skills" rather than being informative, or enjoyable. I did not like it at all.
I am giving this 2 stars, but that is for the behind the scenes which was more of a "documentary" than the show itself.
