I haven't seen all the episodes, but I did catch most of it on Sunday evening where they were covering the Marine landings at Peleliu and Operation Market Garden. I'll definitely watch the series in its entirety when it comes out on DVD.

Don't like Burns' work or his work on the Civil War? Fine, feel free to produce your own.

As for not including a comprehensive history of all fronts of the war, dealing with all peoples, well, that is just ridiculous. I believe his intention is to get at what the American experience in the war was, from the home front to the men at the front, with a fair amount of social history mixed in. This isn't just about the movement of troops from this point to that on a map. For example, how the Soviets mobilized and responded to "The Great Patriotic War" is just outside the scope of what he is trying to do here.
