A well-done low-key drama that didn't try to overwhelm the viewer with blood and gore. It still was able to bring home the tragedy and keep the narrative flowing.
Not too bad, and a good job sharing the emotions of the troops on both sides. BUT....
Bland and superficial.This drama series looks at World War 1 from the perspective of a few British and German soldiers and civilians - the fighting, the effects on families and relationships, the home front.
It is interesting to read the negative reviews all seemed to be from males. As a female, I loved the whole series.
It's worth your time, but for me it goes in the category "seen it, not going to watch it again".
The concept was good, of have two soldiers from opposite sides. However, You wouldn't know which side was which, if it wasn't for the uniforms.
Do not watch this show.
Made as a co production with the BBC and Polish TV this was shown during the remembrance of the 100th anniversary of 'the war to end all wars'. The synopsis is that this is the full five years of that terrible and pointless conflict seen through the eyes of two ordinary soldiers.
