Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War season 1

I saw the Turning Point documentary series about Vietnam and to my surprise there appeared to be two other documentary series from the same makers.
The series about Vietnam was already very strong, so my interest was immediately aroused.
This series about the Cold War and the eventual Russian invasion of Ukraine comprises some 10 hours of footage spread over nine episodes.
If history/war/political docuseries are your thing then these are all must-see series.
Same level as for example the old "The World at War" series about WW2.

What I was especially curious about was how "neutral" the creators would be, and luckily no sides are taken and everyone is right and wrong.

Starting the series about the Iraq war soon.
