tucker s @tucker83014 Sep 15 If you happen to be 4 years old and have the IQ of a salamander, you might enjoy this series. Everyone else, not so much.... See more 11/24/2021 Somewhat interesting information. But information that has been told over and over again. They spend more time telling about a tax against America or espionage against America rather than successes of what America has achieved. The narrator's voice is terrible. It sounds like a guy in his late teens whose voice hasn't totally changed yet. Also he can't pronounce nuclear correctly. And it leaves you asking what the hell is America doing. Because apparently China and Russia are mopping the floor with American intelligence. If you want to see something about spies and have absolutely and completely nothing else better to do, this might be worthwhile.

They (their single source actually) painted Edward Snowden as a spy who gave information to Russia and China. Then when describing a Polish spy during the Cold War who was discovered and escaped, they said he was extradited to a safe country. Wow, that is literally the opposite of extradition. They defined drones as an "unmanned aerial vehicle without a human pilot." As opposed to an unmanned vehicle WITH a human pilot?? I quit watching the show after that. See more 04/20/2021 Surprisingly, this series wasn't completely skewed to make America the automatic hero. It looked at sky technology and tactics from various countries. Overall, the series is fascinating and doesn't deserve all the hate this website is giving it. See more eva l @RT20331454 02/11/2021 Narrator is the Worst! Mispronounces so many words, which is incredibly distracting. "Nu- Cu- Lar" for Nuclear !? Really? No editor, director or producer could catch that?! See more 01/28/2021 Wide ranging examination of primarily clandestine intelligence gathering (though occasionally assassination) techniques used by a variety of government agencies worldwide. The series does a good job of detailing a wealth of examples both historical and current but it would have benefited from more interviews with foreign sources, instead it relies on a number of retired members of American intelligence agencies, private cybersecurity executives and historian Keith Melton, a co-creator and executive producer of the series whose expertise and perspective is presented in a neutral, informative fashion. Describing Spycraft as "propaganda" is inaccurate since it sticks mostly to facts already in the public domain and doesn't spend any time on politics unless it's used to frame a particular technique. There's nothing particularly sensational revealed (in fact it can seem a little dry and repetitive for anyone aware of current events) but it can be an eye-opening experience for the uninitiated. The covert technologies involved and custom fabricated devices are marvels of ingenuity and engineering. It may make viewers a little paranoid, but if anyone is still under the illusion that privacy is at all a realistic proposition, the Spycraft series will dispel them of that notion. "Spycraft" is a one-stop-shop overview of its title subject matter, recommended for anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of geopolitics and the cloak and dagger technologies that enable governments to keep track of their adversaries, foreign or domestic, "friends" or enemies alike.
