Reception

Sierra Filucci of Common Sense Media penned a mixed review of the show. She praised the show for how "its unique method of storytelling" could "bring a new energy to a familiar event". She criticized the show, writing, "But aside from its relatively innovative approach, the show feels a lot like many other documentary-style programs that look back on historical moments." In a mixed review, Angus Batey of The Times wrote about the episode featuring Barnes Wallis and the bouncing bomb, "The approach irritates: the American actors' accents slip in the numerous reconstructions, and the presenter, Hunter Ellis, strolls around tropical locations for no real reason. But the story of a determined inventor helping to win the war is strong enough to triumph."
