Documentary series is enthralling

If you have access to the Smithsonian Channel, be sure to watch (or record) "Apocalypse: Second World War," which debuts tonight at 6 and 9 p.m.

In the 64 years since World War II ended, we've come to see it as sort of a clean war. The footage we've seen has largely spared us of the actual carnage.

Not so with "Apocalypse." Smithsonian is billing this as "footage deemed unfit for civilians to see. Until now." And it's not just hyperbole.

The six-part series, which airs Wednesday-Monday, is shocking. And stunning. And enthralling.

Again, this is not for the entire family. And, be warned, it is shocking in spots.

But "Apocalypse" is amazing to watch.
