Chris Bennion Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/06/2024
3/5
In essence, the series is a relatively superficial primer on Churchill and the war, aimed most likely at US audiences, but the combination of footage and insight (and the ghostly voice of Winnie) makes it worthwhile. Go to Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India 01/31/2025
3.5/5
It’s an engaging watch but can’t be considered ground-breaking. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 01/28/2025
Churchill at War isn’t the definitive examination of World War II but as a primer it is an entertaining place to start. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/06/2024
Churchill At War does a good job at repackaging well-examined material in enough of a new way to keep viewers engaged, and maybe even learn some things about Winston Churchill they didn’t already know. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ANDRE B @RT41987444 May 29 Truly well done and well documented . BUT there was nothing said about the second landing in August 1944 from North Africa to Toulon . It did make a difference in the outcome of the war and in taking the germans from both sides . Why ??? See more Marc Z @TKDLife 02/01/2025 Churchill at War is a near perfect documentary about the Winston Churchill and the challenges of his time. Told through video news footage, archives, interviews, and theatrical recreations, this four part series is very well done. There is much we know about Churchill as the man who rose to become the arch-nemesis of Adolf Hitler in World War II and the face of Great Britain. I find many documentaries to be way too long and filled with unnecessary information. Even at four parts that is not the case here. This is as engaging as any motion picture. The actor who plays Churchill does not really look like him but the sound is uncanny. See more Michael W @mawilps 01/10/2025 This historical docuseries was really good. The entire cast and crew did a fantastic job on telling the story of one of the greatest world leaders in history, Winston Churchill. It was very dramatic and insightful. You would learn some interesting things about Churchill that you might not have known. If you haven't seen this docuseries yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. See more Ned S @RT45432875 12/09/2024 Truely awful! Absurd one liner comments from the likes of George Bush speak volumes to this ridiculous concoction. A baby faced Dan Snow in deep earnest mode, Boris Johnson coiffured to the heights of ridiculous dishevelment. Then throw in a Churchill stand in with a giant fake cigar superglued to his lips whose valiant efforts fail to mimick Churchill’s delivery, replacing speeches for which there are contemporaneous recording. All of this nonsense serves only to irritate and detract from the historical colourised filming from the era, which is the real meat of this otherwise unpalatable sandwich. Such a waste.
