 OK, but too much about Michael Woods May 12, 2009
A reader (New York, NY)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
After reading good reviews and receiving multiple recommendations, I was expecting more out of this documentary. It is not so much "The Story of India" as it is "Michael Woods (Explores India)." I was amazed at how much the series revolved around him--he was almost never not in the frame. If you find him a little cloying, as I did, this is not a plus. Furthermore, he uses the experts he speaks with more as a sounding board for what he already thinks, which is also annoying. Overall, the documentary is a decent overview of India but could have been far better if it was less about Michael Woods.

Michael Wood, perhaps the most brilliant historian of our time, has tied it all together with this magnificent and compelling journey. This is the must see epic story of India for anyone interested in the religions, people and history of the subcontinent.

This one is outstanding. I can't say enough positives about this production. Michael Wood is very enthusiastic in his delivery as well as teaching us the history of the Indus to modern day India. Photography at it best.
Oh, to have had the privilege of walking along during the making of the documentary... it's a dream!
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended for armchair travelers as well as public library collections April 13, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)

Hosted by an acclaimed historian, The Story of India with Michael Wood is a six-part DVD tour (also available in Blu-Ray format) of the incredibly rich and complex history of India, a nation populated by a diverse confluence of peoples, cultures, and environments. From the deserts of Turkmenistan to the Khyber Pass, the plains of Pakistan, the majestic Himalayas, and much more, India is a vast land and with a storied historical narrative that spans millennia. "The Sights and Sounds of India" special feature enhances this lengthy and involving documentary, highly recommended for armchair travelers as well as public library collections. 6 hours, closed captioned.
