The Great War In Numbers - 2017 - 6/10

Six part documentary of World War I focusing on numbers.
How many bullets, how many casualties, how many shells, and how much money.
At times, this sounds like the corporate bean counter nitpicking an expense account.
The first episode, commenting on economics propelling the conflict, is interesting.
As is the final, showing discontented returning soldiers, refusing to allow the upper class to retain privilege.
Footage used throughout is poor quality, finer visuals are readily available.
Narration is well done, the music serves.
Hardly the first choice for anyone curious about this war, though should interest Great War buffs.
