While I don't think Jesse is as charismatic as Indy, he has a very professional quality to him in place of it. It might be because Indy's background is as an entertainer when it comes to being in front of the camera, so their presentation is different. I think it's a great fit for the documentary style of the channel, and it also is respectful of Indy by echoing your (Flo's) previous statement of not trying to replace him. Even as a first episode, this definitely already is fulfilling the promise of quality and depth with excellent narration. Great work all around.

It's nice to see you guys back in action. To the new host, I believe you will hit your stride and find a nice balance between presenting the show and letting your personality come out. It took Indy a number of episodes before he "settled" into his role and transcended being the host; he became completely woven into the show and apart of its DNA. I'm positive you will settle as well and fuse into the show itself, just as Indy did.

That was perfect: many details I never heard before in any film documentary. Maps and photos with reference to what is told. Questions being asked. Analyses, explanations and contexts displayed and clear. No dramatizing, no reenacting scenes, no fake sounds, no distracting music, no edutainment, no propaganda. Perfect! Please continue this way!

I needed this fix. Definitely feels different with Jesse filling Indy's shoes. Reminds me of when Mike took over for Joel in mst3k. Preemptive congrats on 1mil subs.

I first heard of the German Revolution of 1918/1919 by reading the historic comic Berlin: City Of Stones. I haven't poked my head into that book in a long time, but what this video shows compared to what I remember from reading Berlin: City Of Stones is astonishing.

Excellent video, my favourite part of the video is when you start talking about demobilization. We generally do not hear about that process and its difficulty, especially on the soldier's life.

@Dr. Plagueman I speak German and know the language very well. Do you? Obviously not. Pronouncing a language well shows ability and respect for the language.

University language departments would be thrilled to have new and trailblazing information such as yours. Not to mention Berlitz, for example

Yay, boys are back! Greetings to Jesse Alexander! Solid first perfomance I should say, keep it up and improving! Thanks for covering demobilisation, didn't hear much about it and you presented some interesting details for me. Should I rewatch Capitaine Conan now, hmm? :D

Welcome back, guys! and welcome aboard, Jesse! You did great, and we'd like to see you more in future episodes!

Great job with the episode. Looking forward for more!

I'm glad you did a new intro, it conveys the atmosphere of the post war world very well.

Fantastic episode, really like the new host too. Keep up the great work like this and the future of the channel is (imo) very bright indeed!

Great job to Jesse! And I really like that you get into details about the citations (e.g. page number) and give credit to them at the end. Production is superb as ever :)

Nice, glad this series is continuing on to look at the immediate repercussions of the war.

Thank you, Jesse! Superb presentation of events which are often not covered at all in American schools. Still, however they met their ends, I am not shedding any tears for the deaths of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.

Great this is amazing! You have all our support! Keep it up. The new host is very likable!!

Very well done! Excellent in all regards. Congratulations on a superb production!

Fantastic episode! You explain this confusing period in clear terms most people can follow... thank you.

So glad your back, was skeptical about a new host. But those worries can be laid to rest, u have yet another great host. Looking forward to seeing more episodes

Super excited to see more content i was so sad in October of 2018 knowing this channel would be over SO GLAD ITS NOT KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

Glad to see you back. Great work. Learned a lot about the months following Armisice

Welcome aboard, Jesse! Great episode, and look forward to many more. Best wishes from South Dakota.

You did a great job Jesse. I am glad to see you are just being yourself and not trying to be Indy (only Indy can be Indy). Keep it up.

That ending quote hit me so hard. It must have been so terrible for those men i know they lived unlike those who fought and died but those who survived must of carried such a guilt because they were there and i feel so bad. At least they kept their lives but i'm sure so many of them suffered terribly because of the guilt.

Enjoyed the episode. Happy you are keeping the channel going. Agree with the content direction to show events post war.

If you remember the excellent Young Indiana Jones, it showed a lot of history of 1910-1920 that were little known to most people in the 90s. We need more TV like that.

The greatest series on The Great War is at it again. Keep up the great work guys. Jesse you have some big shoes to fill, but I'm positive you can do a great job and do Indy proud. I like the new into and I can't wait for the next video. P.S. Will you guys be doing a review of Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old. I watched the documentary and would like to now your thoughts.

Outstanding Great Job Jesse

I visited Liebknechts and Luxemburgs graves in Berlin last year. The are buried right beside Ulbrich and Honecker.

Great new episode, great debut for Jesse, well done.

I like the new host. I’m glad to see the series continue.

That quote from he Friekorps member at 30:06 is downright poetic.

Glad to see you guys are back! Great job detailing this very chaotic period.

So glad this is back. Looking forward to the next episode.

What you say at 14:44 is incorrect. The Russians among the Spartacists included Soviet government representatives like Karl Radek, who was part of the Soviet coup in Russia a few years before. Radek was one of the passengers on the sealed train that carried Lenin and other Russian revolutionaries through Germany after the February Revolution in Russia. Despite involvement in the Spartacist uprising, he was released after a year, and returned to Russia to serve as Secretary of the Comintern.
