Forget about Netflix, Starz, HBO and whatever other producing companies out there. The BBC is where the good content is at.

The production value on this is through the roof.

The casting and acting were great (they even went as far as getting actors with a whole bunch of different nationalities so they'd be true to the character the were portraying). The writing was extremely compelling. I was hooked from episode one.

The war aspect is starkly portrayed in all its horror, but the most compelling part, imo, was the human element, primarily presented thorough Harry who starts out being sort of naive, only to have a very rude awakening. But the fact the he doesn't lose his honorable, charitable, idealistic qualities even in the face of horror and heartbreak, was one of my favorite parts.

The special effects and sets were also amazing and so very realistic.

A definite 10/10. More people need to be watching this for sure!
