Excellent documentry series

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Unfortunately a number of people have placed bad reviews for a completely unrelated movie on this listing. I gave it five stars to compensate for this, but honestly I would not have anything negative to say anyway (except perhaps that I wish the episodes where longer and that they made more of them). All the episodes are masterfully crafted and engrossing. The use of a singluar narrative following one character while overviewing their entire warrior culture was a great idea. It personolizes otherwise abstract historical occasions and gives you a feeling for what it would have really been like. A few episodes do stick out, such as "The Spartans" because it's simply such a great and inspiring story, and "The Ninja" (just because ninjas are so bloody cool). I hate to be a boring cliche, but this series is indeed both educational and entertaining. You won't be disappointed."
